Winnipeg Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff didn't make any trades or any selections on the first day of the NHL entry draft this year.

DALLAS — All was quiet on the home front Friday night, as the Winnipeg Jets were merely bystanders for the first round of the NHL draft.

General manager Kevin Cheveldayoff didn’t swing any deals on what was actually a sleepy night overall for player movement, with just a single trade involving NHL players being made. (Washington sent defenceman Brooks Orpik and goalie Phillipp Grubauer to Colorado for draft picks).
