PHILADELPHIA -- Winnipeg Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff will continue fielding plenty of trade calls on NHL draft weekend. Cam Neely Jersey . "Were going to listen to everybody," Cheveldayoff said. "If theres a guy that a team has an interest in, then my phone is open for a phone call." Cheveldayoffs colleagues shouldnt bother asking about defencemen Jacob Trouba and Josh Morrissey and centre Mark Scheifele, but other than that the Jets seem open for business. Rumours have swirled around left-winger Evander Kane and defenceman/forward Dustin Byfuglien, who could be prime targets as other teams seek to take advantage of the Jets desire to make changes. Kane could be on his way out of Winnipeg this weekend or before the season starts. But if he is, Cheveldayoff isnt showing his hand. "Im really not going to get into those kinds of discussions," Cheveldayoff said Thursday in his pre-draft news conference. "I think its unfair to the individual players. Theres enough out there at different points in time that some of it is probably true and some is probably false. At the end of the day, it is a business where you do discuss making moves that will help each others franchises but these are people that are involved, as well." The Jets havent made the playoffs in three seasons since moving to Winnipeg from Atlanta. The Thrashers missed the playoffs in the four previous years. So understandably theres some impatience among fans, even in a difficult Western Conference. Cheveldayoff, on the other hand, is a paragon of patience, and that extends to this time of year. "You cant will yourself to make the playoffs," he said. "You have to continue to build and get the pieces that will try to push you forward. Thats why so much attention is paid to the draft and the process and certainly in our organization." The Jets pick ninth in Friday nights first round, the same spot they got Trouba in 2012. Scouts disagree about how many difference-makers are available in this draft, ranging from eight to 12. There is a consensus about the top five players available: defenceman Aaron Ekblad, centres Sam Reinhart, Sam Bennett, forward Leon Draisaitl and winger Michael Dal Colle. To get one, the Jets would have to move up. "You make the calls, you try and see if there is opportunities," Cheveldayoff said. "I guess there has to be an appetite in the different people to want to move because there are some good players there. Teams arent just going to say, Yeah, you know what, lets make a move. It has to make sense for both sides." In three drafts at the helm, Cheveldayoff has yet to move up or down in the first round. He has also not made a player-for-player trade at any point as Winnipegs GM. So history is stacked against the Jets trading Kane or Byfuglien, even if the current reality makes it possible. Late in the regular season after being a healthy scratch, Kane refused to answer a question about whether he had or would ask for a trade. Cheveldayoff danced around the subject Thursday when asked if Kane had requested to be dealt. "These kinds of questions are really unfair," he said. "There are lots of conversations that go on. Im sure there were levels of frustration at different points in time for individual players. From our standpoint, Evander is a Winnipeg Jet and I know that theres obviously been lots of different rumours out there. At this point in time, thats how were going to proceed. As far as any demands, were working as normal here." Normal to the Jets means continuing to stockpile talent at the draft. Only problem is, after No. 9, they dont have a pick until the third round, 69th overall, after sending a second away for winger Devin Setoguchi last summer. Its unlikely Winnipeg will be able to get immediate help with even its first-round pick. But Cheveldayoff could stay true to his long-term plan by making picks and moves this weekend. "Youre trying to gain depth in an organization, so that if you have other assets that other people covet, then you can maybe make those kind of moves," he said. "But until you have the assets that allow you to be competitive in the short term and maybe make long-term moves, you have to keep building." Gerry Cheevers Jersey . You can, too, Clay Buchholz, if we ignore the sixth inning of Game 2. Doug Fister and Jake Peavy, youre up next in Game 4 and theres a lot to live up to. Derek Sanderson Jersey . 3. Trevor Ariza left them talkin about 40. Ariza made eight 3-pointers and scored a career-high 40 points to help the Washington Wizards win their sixth straight game, 122-103 over Philadelphia on Saturday night. http://www.bruinsstore.com/authentic-milan-lucic-bruins-jersey/ .

LONDON -- Two months after winning the World Cup, Germany opened its 2016 European Championship campaign with a 2-1 victory over Scotland on Sunday, while Portugal and Greece both slumped to defeats in their qualifying matches. Thomas Mueller scored both Germanys goals -- a difficult backward header in the 18th minute and a close-range effort in the 70th -- just four minutes after Ikechi Anya had grabbed a deserved equalizer for Scotland. "Im satisfied with the three points. It was important to start with a win," said Germany coach Joachim Loew, whose side is unbeaten in 33 European Championship or World Cup qualifiers. Elsewhere, a Portugal side without injured Cristiano Ronaldo lost 1-0 at home to Albania, 10-man Romania beat Greece 1-0 and Serbia drew 1-1 with Euro 2016 host France in a friendly. Germany laboured for long periods in the Group D match, particularly in the second half when the Scots were at their most dangerous, but still the home side might have scored more goals. "Theyre very well organized. We missed one or two chances to make it more convincing. Then it got a bit close toward the end," Mueller said. Mueller missed two good opportunities before making the most of his third, when he beat two defenders to Sebastian Rudys cross and looped the ball over the goalkeeper. Anya equalized when he raced onto Steven Fletchers through ball and beat Neuer with a cool finish inside the far post. But Mueller soon restored the home sides lead after a goalmouth scramble, rifling the ball to the roof of the net after Scotland failed to clear. Scotland ended the game with 10 men after Charlie Mulgrew earned two yellow cards in injury time. In the other Group D matches, Poland routed Gibraltar 7-0 in Portugal on the "home" sides competitive UEFA debut, and Ireland beat Georgia 2-1 in Tbilisi. Portugal sorely missed Ronaldos firepower as it was upset by unfancied Albania aand was loudly jeered by unhappy fans. Custom Boston Bruins Jerseys. Bekim Bajals spectacular second-half volley embarrassed the Portuguese who couldnt translate their dominance into goals, although Nani came close several times in his 75th appearance and newcomer Ricardo Horta hit the woodwork. The surprise result compounded Portugals problems after its disappointing first-round exit at the World Cup in Brazil. Portugal commonly struggles in qualifying campaigns and had to go through the playoffs to reach the 2010 World Cup, Euro 2012 and the 2014 World Cup. Also in Group I, Denmark came from behind to beat Armenia 2-1. Pierre Emile Hojbjerg levelled and substitute Thomas Kahlenberg netted the late winner for Denmark which fell behind to an early goal from Armenias Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Aleksander Kolarovs 80th-minute equalizer earned Serbia a 1-1 draw against France, which qualifies automatically as host country. Paul Pogba scored for the French. It was visitors day in Group F with 10-man Romania beating Greece, Northern Ireland finding late goals to defeat Hungary 2-1 and Finland beating the Faroe Islands 3-1 after being a goal down at halftime. Greece was perhaps lucky to have played in front of empty stands -- due to a home stadium ban -- as the players were spared the likely embarrassment of being booed by their own fans for a sub-par performance. Romania captain Ciprian Marica scored the winner with a penalty in the 10th minute, and then left his teammates to eke out a victory after getting sent off with a second yellow card in the 53rd. In Budapest, Niall McGinn, in the 81st, and Kyle Lafferty, in the 88th, led Northern Ireland to the win over Hungary. Tamas Priskin had opened the scoring for the hosts in the 75th. At Torshavn, Riku Riski scored in the 53rd and 78th for Finland, with Roman Eremenko adding a third in the 78th. Christian Holst had opened the scoring for the Faroe Islands in the 41st.
