It's probably not a "rift", but...

There has been much ado lately about how far apart Paul Maurice and Kevin Cheveldayoff seem to be on one of the Winnipeg Jets most prized prospects, Ville Heinola. Whereas Chevy has made reference to “internal upgrades on defence” at the start of the season, midseason, and post-trade deadline, Maurice – the person in control of the lineups for games – and Charlie Huddy – the person in charge of the pairings going out onto the ice during play – has only played Heinola twice in a now-84 day span, averaging just around 12 minutes in each game.
