JERSEY CITY, N. Ted Ginn Jr Saints Jersey .J. -- This incarnation of the Winnipeg Jets hasnt made the playoffs in two years, and the franchise didnt qualify for the previous five seasons when it was in Atlanta. That would seem to create some urgency for general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff. But Cheveldayoff is going into Sundays NHL draft with the long-term future in mind. "Ultimately youre here to restock and stock your teams with young talent and future building blocks for your organization," he said. "That is really the first and foremost topic on our minds." With the No. 13 pick, three in the second round and 10 overall, the Jets have plenty of ammunition to make trades. But Cheveldayoff seems comfortable focusing more on the future than the present. Thats easy with a "good memory." Cheveldayoff will oftentimes think about acquiring a player and then look to see that he was drafted in one of the first two rounds, reminding him that patience is a valuable asset. "It does take time, theres no question about it, but in a cap world, it is impulse that really sets you in the wrong direction," he said. "When you have the opportunity to have good young players, now thats the key: Youve got to draft right, you have to develop right. That is the way youll be able to live and thrive in a cap world." Sure, Cheveldayoff would like to find some more depth at right wing and get deals done with some restricted free agents like defenceman Zach Bogosian, right-winger Blake Wheeler and centre Bryan Little. But this weekend is about drafting young players, many of whom wont be able to contribute at the NHL level for at least a couple of years. "We spent a lot of time with our scouts, our scouts have spent the whole year putting their hearts and souls into the list," Cheveldayoff said. "Theyre out in the rinks, theyre out pounding the pavement, going through the snowstorms to try and find that player that is going to put us over the top. And that needs to be respected as well. Were very focused on working to keep our RFAs, working to build through the draft, and working to build an organization that is strong and has lots of depth, and this is the time that it starts right here." Cheveldayoff has already told his scouting staff to be prepared if the team doesnt use all 10 picks it has at its disposal. Thats not a problem for director of amateur scouting Marcel Comeau. "Were all in this together and we all want to see the team get better as soon as it can get better," Comeau said. "Whatever pieces we can add, thats all for the good, as far as Im concerned. Our job is to acquire assets for management to manage. Were looking forward to adding some more pieces and then see what we can make out of those pieces." The Jets are still glowing from the 2012 draft when defenceman Jacob Trouba was available for them to select ninth overall. Hes expected to make the team out of training camp next season. "We were real excited. We just had a feeling that was going to be the guy we were going to get, for some reason," Comeau said. "We just thought he was our guy. Sure as heck, he was, so we were certainly happy to get him. He certainly hasnt disappointed us here. Hes going to be a great addition to the Winnipeg Jets." Winnipeg may not get a player as polished as Trouba or 2011 first-rounder Mark Scheifele at No. 13 or in the second round, but Comeau and Cheveldayoff are confident theyll continue to build the system. "Choices change hands. We have a few more opportunities this year, we still put the work in to get the list where we want it and certainly we have a chance to add some more assets," Comeau said. "You dont know if theyre going to be there, but you put the work in regardless, prepare as best you can and be sure that youre good to go."

Those traits were clear to the 24,071 at Olympic Stadium on Saturday as the Impact dominated the scoring chances but settled for a 2-2 draw with the New York Red Bulls in a battle of still-winless Major League Soccer teams.PITTSBURGH -- Neil Walker wasnt expecting to have a big offensive game Friday night, especially with Michael Wacha pitching for the St. Louis Cardinals. The last time Wacha started at PNC Park was in the Game 4 of last years National League Division Series and he took a no-hitter into the eighth inning in beating the Pittsburgh Pirates. Yet the hot-hitting Walker had three hits, including a go-ahead three-run home run in the seventh inning, and drove in four runs to help the Pirates beat the Cardinals 6-4. "Wacha is so good, as we found out last year," said Walker, who has reached base in 22 of his last 40 plate appearances. "He throws hard and youve got to shorten up your swing and put the ball in play. Thats the best way to approach him because youre usually not going to do too much against him." While Walkers first two hits were against Wacha, his seventh homer came off Carlos Martinez (0-2) and rallied the Pirates from a 4-3 deficit for their third straight victory. Jordy Mercer and pinch-hitter Gaby Sanchez led off the inning with singles and were bunted up a base by Jose Tabata before Walker hit a drive into the right-field stands. "Martinez is as tough as Wacha, but he hung a slider and I was able to put a good swing on it," Walker said. "I was surprised. The guy has such great stuff that youre not thinking that youre going to hit a home run in that situation. It was huge." Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said it didnt appear that Martinez got the home run pitch "where he wanted it." Mercer had three of the Pirates 12 hits, while Ike Davis, who hit a two-run double in the first inning to open the scoring, and Tabata had two hits apiece. Pittsburgh beat St. Louis for the 10th time in 13 games at home. Mercers performance was a welcome development for the Pirates and their shortstop, who is hitting just .187. "Ive been putting inn a lot of time in the batting cage, trying to figure things out and its nice to have some results because I feel confident now when I step in the batters box," Mercer said.

Allen Craigs three-run home run, his fourth, accounted for the Cardinals other runs. Peralta and Craig had two hits apiece in the Cardinals second loss in five games. Justin Wilson (1-0) struck out the only batter he faced, Matt Adams, to end the top of the seventh. Mark Melancon, filling as the closer for injured Jason Grilli, pitched a scoreless ninth for his third save. Both starting pitchers worked five innings and had uneven performances. Pittsburghs Francisco Liriano allowed three runs, five hits and four walks while striking out five, while Wacha gave up three runs on seven hits with seven strikeouts and one walk. Liriano has gone a career-long 11 regular-season starts without a win since beating the Texas Rangers last Sept. 10. Wacha is winless in his last five starts.
