It's a HF article. I'm surprised it wasn't posted here automatically.

Things however worked out in that regard, and Samuels-Thomas is now a prospect for the Winnipeg Jets.
"To be part of the Jets organization is awesome. I got to go out there this summer and for the first time got to meet the coaching staff, front office guys, and a lot of the other prospects. It was a great experience.
"[Jets fans] are extremely passionate. They've been waiting (over) fifteen years for a team to come back and they felt should have never left, so there is that added emphasis, different than a city that is getting a team for the first time. That's what made rookie camp so much fun. We're having practice, just doing basic stuff and the place is sold out. We get treated really well there…it was awesome.
"I'm not sure if it's a second chance, but it is definitely a second evaluation. With what happened with Atlanta, the whole front office was cleared right? You got a whole new front office in Winnipeg, so now you're kind of getting a [new] look. You're trying to impress a whole new group of people."
