Paul Wiecek of the Winnipeg Free Press: Winnipeg Jets head coach Paul Maurice is entering the final year of his contract. When the season ended for the Jets back in April both Maurice and GM Kevin Cheveldayoff agreed that an extension was all be done. Mid-way through August a deal has yet to be announced.
[Wiecek] asked Jets spokesman Scott Brown.
“Actually I haven’t heard anything lately,” Brown replies. “But it’s not a topic I ask about until told.”
Maybe the sides know a deal is easy to do and just haven’t spent the time to put it together yet, or maybe they already have a deal done and are waiting closer to the start of the season.
