Jets' Cheveldayoff addresses Burmistrov report
/Winnipeg Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff was on TSN 1290 Tuesday afternoon.
On Alex Burmistrov and Dmitry Chesnokov’s report from Tuesday about Burmistrov not being happy in the KHL and wanting another chance in the NHL:
“Well, we’ve said from the onset when he chose to go back to the KHL, we said, ‘Hey, he’s a big part of our organization and we’ll watch him intently' and we’re looking forward to continue to watch his development as a player. He’s still a young player when it comes to the hockey age, so to speak, and there’s lots of room for growth and development in his game. So again, sitting here today, not knowing how the weeks and months and obviously, I guess, several months unfold, again, we’re happy to have Alex as part of our organization and we’ll continue to watch and monitor him.”
