Scheifele questioned his future in Winnipeg after the Jets (39-32-11) missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time in five seasons, finishing eight points behind the Nashville Predators for the second wild card from the Western Conference. The center has two seasons remaining on the eight-year, $49 million contract he signed July 8, 2016. "Yeah, I do," Cheveldayoff told NHL.com at the 2022 Adidas NHL Scouting Combine. "My exit interview with Mark went well. Again, it was an emotional time for everybody. We asked [our players] to wear their emotions in the exits, and I think they were very productive."

Phil Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Interesting update. He's the guy I think they'll be all over if and when Strome and Copp price themselves out, but if he's truly staying, it puts more emphasis on the Rangers to keep one of the two if they don't think Chytil is ready for a major role next season.

Perhaps they are looking to move other guys instead of him. They need to improve defensively. I would think a guy like Ehlers could be on the block to re-appropriate some cap to the backend.

After this postseason I just roll with chytil - if we’re not willing to trade him for another young center we’re going to live and die by him anyway in that role and at least the playoff proves he could play, not necessarily that he will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksBurner Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 He has a similar background as Zibanejad in terms of games missed, no? Not that it isn’t potentially an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
