Toby Enstrom always felt like he had unfinished business in Winnipeg.

It's one of the reasons he decided to help the Jets out this summer, honouring GM Kevin Cheveldayoff's request to waive the no-movement clause in his contract in advance of the NHL Expansion Draft. The move allowed the Jets to protect an allotment of seven forwards, three defencemen and one goalie, which was preferred by management.

In return, Cheveldayoff promised Enstrom he would do his best to keep the 32-year-old Swede in Winnipeg.
