Mark Scheifele - C - Jets

Mark Scheifele sustained "a slight concussion" in the OHL championship series against London, but Barrie coach Dale Hawerchuk expects him to be all right for the fall.

He missed Monday's Game 7 due to the injury after he was hit in Game 6. Barrie ended up losing to London when the Knights with less than one second remaining in regulation. Hawerchuk believes that Scheifele is ready to become a professional player next season. "But he's definitely ready, ready to go to the next level," he said. "I'll be surprised if he's not there ... I expect him to have a great camp and be ready."

Claude Noel - C - Jets

Gary Lawless of the Winnipeg Free Press writes that he wouldn't be surprised if GM Kevin Cheveldayoff took a look at adding current Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault if he becomes available.

Cheveldayoff was asked if coach Claude Noel would be back next year and he left the door open a bit. "The answer is, that everybody that is under contract is under contract. It's one of those things when you talk about a coach at this point in time, if I say something one way or say something the other way, it's always misconstrued," said Cheveldayoff. "There should be no interjection or expectation that Claude Noel is not the coach. The question then leads to, 'Well, then you must be signing him to an extension.' There's a process in place to deal with these things. It's a question that has to be asked. Claude Noel is the coach of the Winnipeg Jets. He is under contract and as we move forward the processes will unfold."

Claude Noel - C - Jets

Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff is eager to do what it takes to improve his team.

The Jets have nine restricted free agents, which Cheveldayoff calls "priorities" for the offseason. But he's frustrated and knows the Jets were inconsistent yet again this year. "We've got to get better," Cheveldayoff said. "We've got to find ways, whether it's finding other free agents that fit the mold or continuing the slow process of drafting and developing our young players. We're two years into my tenure as general manager. Hopefully now we'll start seeing some of the fruits of our labor with respect to drafting."

Adam Lowry - W - Jets

Adam Lowry was named the WHL's player of the year.

Lowry, the team's third-round pick from the 2011 draft, finished the regular season with 45 goals and 43 assists, and he also had five points in five games in the playoffs. The 20-year-old also made his AHL debut, getting an assist in nine games. "Making that switch to center really opened up the ice for me," said Lowry. "As I've gotten stronger I've been able to hang onto the puck longer and win more battles. I'm going to continue to work on getting stronger -- I know the guys in the AHL and NHL are a lot bigger and stronger. "As I get stronger I think that will help with my skating and overall versatility." Lowry will attend the Jets' development camp in the summer prior to heading to the Jets' training camp.

Andrew Ladd - W - Jets

At Team Canada's first practice for the IIHF World Championships, Andrew Ladd was skating on the team's top line.

He was joined by Philadelphia captain Claude Giroux and Tampa Bay sniper Steve Stamkos. That would be an impressive line if they stay together for the tournament and a tough one for any team to handle with their combined skill and grit.
