The Winnipeg Jets’ proximity to both the salary-cap ceiling and their American Hockey League team may force a change in the way they do business this season, their eighth in the league.
General manager Kevin Cheveldayoff and head coach Paul Maurice said Friday the club may only carry 22 players at times this season, one below the maximum roster size of 23. That would allow them to pinch some valuable pennies in the process, which could be used down the road should the team want to add a player through a trade.
