But if you look at the statement that Kevin Cheveldayoff issued back in July, he made it abundantly clear that he knew nothing of the allegations until a meeting, and I believe that he stands firm in that position today. Look, dissecting statements can be a real tricky business. I believe that commissioner Bettman has already reached out to ownership of the Winnipeg Jets and has likely had a conversation with general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff as well. Reda: Teams are trying to conduct business as usual through all of this, how concerned are the Jets given Kevin CheveldayoffвЂ™s impending meeting with the commissioner?Дarren Dreger: There would be a level of concern, this is a serious matter, nobody in Winnipeg is trying to dodge. Certainly this is something the commissioner will want to get to soon, because itвЂ™s my understanding that we wonвЂ™t see any type of discipline or fallout when it comes to those two gentlemen until after those conversations have happened and the commissioner can get a better sense of their potential involvement or not in this situation. As of Tuesday night the NHL commissioner had not yet coordinated schedules to figure out the exact timing with the Winnipeg Jets on the West Coast, Kevin Cheveldayoff is with the team there and in Florida Joel Quenneville is at home with the Florida Panthers.

Do we have a timeline for those meetings?Д¬hris Johnston: Well, beyond the near future we donвЂ™t. Gino Reda: While the Blackhawks shook things up internally, the commissioner says he is now going to conduct personal meetings with Kevin Cheveldayoff and Joel Quenneville in the near future.
