FORT LAUDERDALE -- In the end, it’s all about the value a team sees in a player and when it comes to Andrew Ladd the Winnipeg Jets see a lot. Maybe more than any of their other players.
So while unrestricted free agent Michael Frolik and his agent Allan Walsh were schlepping from one team’s meeting room to another looking for money the Jets have yet to offer, the wheels were continuing to turn on an extension for Captain Ladd.
Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff has lots on his plate with the NHL draft this weekend, but don’t be surprised the focus turns to Ladd when Cheveldayoff returns home to Winnipeg.
