If the hockey buck indeed stops in Winnipeg with Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff, his desk will see a lot of bucks and a lot of stopping over the next three weeks.
A prime focus in the coming days is the NHL’s entry draft, which is next week (Friday and Saturday) at Buffalo’s First Niagara Center.
For this particular draft, the Jets gained the right to select a generational kind of player when their numbers came up at the league’s draft lottery at the end of April.
The Jets were the biggest jumpers in that lottery, forging up to second overall from their rank as the sixth-poorest team in the 2015-16 regular season.
