The Winnipeg Jets have a solid prospect group, but it appears one major name in Rutger McGroarty wants out, and now he's made a big decision on his future.

Two years ago, the Winnipeg Jets landed a home run selection in the NHL Draft when they chose Michigan Wolverines forward Rutger McGroarty. However, the relationship has soured in recent times, and now, the young star reportedly wants out of Winnipeg.
It's unclear exactly what happened to cause this sudden desire to leave from McGroarty, but without a guaranteed spot in the NHL, it appears he wants to look for opportunity elsewhere. Now, Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff has revealed an intriguing piece of information that signals even further that McGroarty is on the way out in Winnipeg.
#NHLJets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff tells reporters in Vegas that prospect Rutger McGroarty will not attend the team's development camp next week.
With NHL teams opening development camps for prospects and potential signings, it appears McGroarty won't be among the group in Winnipeg, as he stands firm on his desire to be traded. The relationship may be salvageable, but for the Jets team that are chasing the Stanley Cup, a trade is the best possible outcome now, so it shouldn't be long before one happens.
