Kevin Cheveldayoff was a special guest on TSN 1290 Monday night, a two-hour
special that will be re-broadcast Tuesday afternoon and again Sunday afternoon.
Cheveldayoff talked about his busy schedule over the next few months, from the
Under-18 tournament, to playoff games for the AHL affiliate in St. Johns,
possibly the World Hockey Championship, the draft combine in Toronto, the NHL
Draft and preparing for July 1st, the first day of unrestricted free agency. On
this past season, so many things that stand out: the fan support, the excitement
in the city, and made special mention of the True North call during the anthem.
He termed the depth of the organization “adequate”, noting that at one time, the
Jets had $20 million dollars in salary out the lineup, but the players called up
from St. Johns kept them in the playoff hunt. On what he would like to add to
the team, “size and speed, but so would 29 other teams.” He is open to draft day
deals, but will not forfeit the future. Mario Williams Blue Jersey. On
Ondrej Pavelec, whom he won an AHL championship with in Chicago, “he has
matured, handled a big load. We rode him hard.” He also talked about the
progress of young players like Zach Bogosian, Evander Kane and what an important
part the coaches played on the development of the young players. At a team
meeting Sunday, management told the players about wanting to make playoffs,
wanting to win a championship. “It is a strong management group with zero ego
involved.” On Dustin Byfuglien playing forward or defence, “that will be debated
today, tomorrow and forever.” Cheveldayoff was with Chicago when the Hawks won a
Cup with Byfuglien playing forward. “You dont appreciate him until you dont have
him. Teams played us differently without him in the lineup. They didnt have to
worry about big Buf.” Check the TSN 1290 website for more information on the
two-hour general managers summit. ’ ’ ’
