Jets trim roster, but biggest storyline still revolves around players not in camp

The Winnipeg Jets made a first wave of cuts to their training camp roster on Wednesday morning, but there were no surprises.

The 13 players were all expected to need more seasoning with the Manitoba Moose at the AHL level and were not anticipated to be in the Jets lineup when they open the season at Madison Square Garden on Oct. 3 against the New York Rangers.

It's also no surprise the biggest story of training camp continues to be the three players who aren't present — restricted free agent forwards Patrik Laine and Kyle Connor and defenceman Dustin Byfuglien, who has taken a personal leave.
