Jets' GM would match Trouba offer sheet, welcome Ladd's return

Winnipeg Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff isn't ready to let Jacob Trouba walk.

If the 22-year-old defensemen - a pending restricted free agent - were to sign an offer sheet by an opposing team, Cheveldayoff would "certainly" match it, according to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun.

And while Cheveldayoff would like to hold on to Trouba, he also hinted at the possibility of bringing back former captain Andrew Ladd, stating that he looks forward to the opportunity to interview pending UFAs such as Ladd on Saturday, according to TSN's Frank Seravalli.

Ladd captained the team since the 2010-11 season, before he was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks ahead of last season's trade deadline.
