ST. LOUIS — Blake Wheeler calls it a huge opportunity loss.
Speaking early this afternoon, the Winnipeg Jets captain called the NHL's decision not to participate in the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea "disappointing."
"It's a unique opportunity to showcase our sport. The stage probably doesn't get any bigger, as far as we're concerned. You don't get as many people to pay attention, people to watch, as you do at the Olympics," said Wheeler.
