Lol nah

This is hilarious. They haven't learned a thing.

Gonna be yelling about how he is worth a top ten pick all the way to free agency.

I believe people now believe it was Minnesota Wild at #13 (but Buium fell, so they changed course)

Not my rumor...was reported as MIN with #13 pick by Russo, etc

From Ates (The Athletic): "Minnesota offered Winnipeg the 13th pick but changed its tack when Zeev Buium became available, trading up to take the defenceman at 12. We don’t know the Jets’ draft list: It’s possible that making the deal with the Wild depended on which player Winnipeg could have drafted at 13.

But that wasn’t the Jets’ only bite.

The Jets’ draft table was abuzz throughout Round 1, with GM Kevin Cheveldayoff spotted working the phone on several calls during the opening round. The biggest frenzies came during the middle of the first round, but ultimately Winnipeg was not able to pull off a trade. "

In my opinion, this saga won't find a conclusion until well after CapFriendly goes dark.

Edit: For those who want to follow WPG beat reporters on twitter who are at the draft, Ken Wiebe (Winnipeg Free Press) and Murat Ates (The Athletic) are there. They generally don't have insider breaking news stuff, but have decent access to Cheveldayoff. National reporter Darren Dreger (TSN) probably has the best access to Cheveldayoff and it seems like he gets the first crack at breaking Jets news before it is released broadly.
