Coaches and management have had to pay attention to a lot more bodies over a longer stretch of time during this year's Winnipeg Jets training camp.

In no other year has the group been 40-plus strong this late into the proceedings.

While players are scheduled to have the day off, cuts will be made Friday, head coach Paul Maurice said Thursday morning at Bell MTS Iceplex.
