VANCOUVER — Regrets? Sure, Paul Maurice has a few. Just don't hold your breath expecting the admittedly stubborn head coach of the Winnipeg Jets to completely overhaul his style, or his philosophy, going forward.
In a wide-ranging chat Friday afternoon prior to the start of the NHL draft, the veteran bench boss shared his thoughts on numerous topics: losing to the eventual Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues in six games; his usage of young players; the Jacob Trouba trade and the state of his blue-line, player turnover caused by salary cap constraints; the leadership group on his team and whether changes are needed; and how to get his group back on track after falling short of high expectations.
