#NHLJets Rick Bowness, #Canucks Rick Tocchet and #Preds Andrew Brunette are Jack Adams finalists.

#NHLJets Cheveldayoff said that some players in who are part of the team’s core asked in their exit meetings about Chibrikov, Lambert, Salomonsson & McGroarty. Cheveldayoff was struck by how invested those veterans are in parts of the team’s upcoming future.

#NHLJets Cheveldayoff says the team was prepared to offer Rutger McGroarty his ELC but the player wanted to take on a bigger role next season to lead his Michigan team to greater things after falling short in this year’s Frozen Four. TSN EDGE

#NHLJets locker cleanout day focused on Connor Hellebuyck’s assessment of his series and Rick Bowness’ future. Gino Reda and I chat about it for #TSN That’s Hockey: youtu.be/GrbBLmVIsps

#NHLJets Bowness listing what he was brought in to do and what he helped accomplish:
1. Change the culture;
2. Establish team identity;
3. Get back to the playoffs.

He said players took much more ownership of this year’s playoff loss in exit interviews than they did last year.

#NHLJets Bowness didn’t expand on which players were suffering from injuries but mentioned that Lowry had “a bad hand most of the series”. He disclosed that Barron’s injury was a knee and that he wouldn’t have played in round one. TSN EDGE

#NHLJets Bowness on his future: “I know what I want to do, I know what I’m going to to do. You’ll find out.”

Bowness’ third year is a team option. He will talk with his wife, kids, Mark Chipman and Cheveldayoff about his decision. TSN EDGE

#NHLJets Dillon says his cut left hand was “a super weird play” but longterm will be OK. Stitches come out next Monday. Was targeting Gm 6/7 to return.

Dillon’s not sure how it happened because, “I’m not good with blood, to be honest, so I haven’t even looked at (replays).”

#NHLJets Ehlers says he and his agent haven’t had talks with Cheveldayoff about a contract extension (UFA after next season) and that he hasn’t thought about his future.

Ehlers won’t play in WHC due to his neck issue which he says he needs to take care of before it gets worse.

#NHLJets Hellebuyck details 'heartbreaking' feeling of not being able to impose himself in series tsn.ca/nhl/video/~291…

#NHLJets Bowness called Namestnikov last night when he got back to Winnipeg. Bowness described Namestnikov as nauseous because he hadn’t eaten since the accident occurred & wasn’t feeling great.

Bowness said Namestnikov has “a colourful cheekbone” after seeing him this morning.

#NHLJets Ehlers has played both walls on the second unit this season so I was hedging my bets.

#NHLJets Bowness says Brenden Dillon will not play in Game 5 due to the cut on his left hand: “We don’t want to put him in harm’s way.” Barron (lower body injury) has not resumed skating so he is not available to play. TSN EDGE

#NHLJets Bowness said Namestnikov suffered a fracture left cheekbone (no orbital bone damage) due to the deflected shot to his face on Sunday.

Namestnikov will fly to Winnipeg to Denver Monday afternoon and Bowness hasn’t ruled out his availability to play on Tuesday. TSN EDGE
