Cheveldayoff says Jets will have to make 'tough decisions' this summer. MORE:
WINNIPEG — General manager Kevin Cheveldayoff says an upcoming summer of"tough decisions" means changes are on the way for the Winnipeg Jets.are due hefty raises now that their entry-level contracts are coming to an end, but the team was already near the US$79.5-million salary cap so some familiar faces may be gone to free up cash.
"Is the team going to be the same? I could stand here last year with greater certainty that there was going to be a lot of pieces that we're going to do our darnedest to keep and come back, and even then we couldn't do it all then. This year, there's certainly going to be some changes." Instead, Winnipeg couldn't get on a roll to end the regular season and was unable to flip the switch in the playoffs. The St. Louis Blues knocked them out of their first-round matchup in six games, four decided by one goal.
Laine, who scored three goals in the playoffs, revealed he suffered a"small" groin injury in Game 5, but could handle it. He'd also dealt with ongoing back problems during the season, but"I was able to play good."
