{allcanada} JETS' GM ON TRADE DEADLINE

The Winnipeg Sun caught up with Jets General Manager Kevin Cheveldayoff, who provided a glimpse into what the Jets might do between now and the April 3 trade deadline.

"I'd love to be able to acquire something that could inspire some more scoring for us," Cheveldayoff said. "Our left side with Ladd and Kane has played well. Wheeler on the right side has played well. And the guys that have been auditioning up and down the lineup on the right side, you've seen some good things and you've seen some times where you wish you had more."

To which The Sun responded, "Get in line."

"There's a long line," Cheveldayoff conceded. "But we've positioned ourselves well. We do have the assets that if the right deal comes along we can pounce on it."

Those "assets" are draft picks, of which the Jets have a nice stockpile: six in the first three rounds of this year's draft.

If the Jets are out of the running, expect Cheveldayoff to dangle Ron Hainsey and Nik Antropov, probably his two most tradeable UFA's.

"You have to look at the legitimacy of where you're at in the playoff mix," Cheveldayoff said, listing one of the factors he'll be considering as April 3 approaches.
