Jacob Trouba - D - Jets

Winnipeg GM Kevin Cheveldayoff and assistant GM Craig Heisinger spent most of their time at the IIHF World Champioship eyeballing 2012 first-round pick Jacob Trouba.

"We saw him play in a lot of different situations with eight defensemen in the lineup any given night. Jacob played on the first power play in all the games that we watched," Cheveldayoff said. "He was given a lot of responsibility in that regard. He has a very good slapshot. The team was looking for some chemistry in some areas and found it. I think their power play was pretty good and from that standpoint, it was pretty good to see Jacob be a part of it. Not having played for an extended period of time or ever at the men's level, I think there was a good transition period for him. It looked like he was more comfortable every time he played. He's had a wonderful opportunity given to him and he took full advantage of it." It sounds like the team's brass is impressed with the 19-year-old's play and he's definitely a player to watch going into training camp.

Olli Jokinen - C - Jets

Olli Jokinen will continue to rest and rehab his ankle injury during the off-season.

He won't require surgery after sustaining a high-ankle sprain late in the 2013 campaign. Jokinen had a disappointing first year with the Jets after he was brought in with the hope of anchoring the team's top line. He notched seven goals and seven assists, while picking up a minus-19 rating, in 45 games.

Zach Bogosian - D - Jets

Zach Bogosian missed the last three games of the regular season with a concussion.

Winnipeg GM Kevin Cheveldayoff said the 22-year-old defenseman is doing fine as he recovers. Bogosian sustained "an upper-body injury" when he took to a hit the head from New York Islanders forward Kyle Okposo on April 20. He will hope to continue to improve during the off-season. Bogosian also needs to work out a new contract with the Jets during the summer as well.

Mark Scheifele - C - Jets

Mark Scheifele is feeling better after suffering "a slight concussion" during the OHL championship series.

"I'm feeling a lot better now. I've pretty much taken all those days off, doing completely nothing, just relaxing," he said. "I'll probably start a little more activity as the days come now and see how I feel from that." He mentioned that he's strongly considering training with fitness guru Gary Roberts in the off-season to prepare himself for camp.

Jacob Trouba - D - Jets

Jacob Trouba had an injury at the IIHF World Championship that caused him to miss three games, but he finished the tournament strong and helped the United States win the bronze medal.

"It was definitely an adjustment from where I was," Trouba said. "I hadn't played a game in a month and a half going into that, and I had never played at that level before. The first couple games were an adjustment, and then I got a little injured there for a little bit, and then when I came back I felt fine. I felt like I could keep up and I could play how I play at that level. So it went well." He recorded a goal and two assists in seven contests, while logging 13 minutes of average ice time per game. Trouba may find himself in Winnipeg's top-six defense group next season.

Zach Bogosian - D - Jets

Contract talks with restricted free agent Zach Bogosian haven't begun at this time, according to his agent Bob Murray.

GM Kevin Cheveldayoff is preoccupied with the draft and his end of the year evaluations, so it's not surprising that he hasn't held discussions with Bogosian's camp yet. A deal will probably be worked out over the summer after he's sent a qualifying offer.

Alexander Burmistrov - C - Jets

According to two league sources, Alexander Burmistrov has no intention of re-signing with the Winnipeg Jets.

He is slated for restricted free agency. Burmistrov reportedly wanted to be dealt at the trade deadline and despite discussions with Ottawa, Buffalo and the New York Islanders, the Jets were unsuccessful in moving him. His agent, Mark Gandler, wouldn't say much about the matter, but he did say that "Alex is not going to sign in the KHL." Burmistrov hasn't been very productive in three seasons, with 23 goals and 35 assists in 194 career contests, but he's still just 21 years of age so it might be too early to label him as a bust.

Mark Dekanich - G - Jets

Mark Dekanich has reportedly signed with Medvescak of the KHL.

He appeared in 35 games with the St. John's IceCaps of the AHL this past season, where he compiled a 16-14-1 record to go with a 2.98 goals-against average and an .895 save percentage.

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."

Andrew Ladd - W - Jets

Andrew Ladd has been one of Canada's better players at the IIHF World Championships.

Ladd had a terrific season with the Jets with 46 points in 48 games and he has continued to hold a hot stick at the World Championships with three goals and four points in five games. There are many who regard Ladd's accomplishments as a bit flukey. Don't count us amongst them.

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."
