Here is an interesting article on the Jets prospects, how they did at this years draft and Chevy's philosophy.

That bit of diplomacy having been offered, the Winnipeg Jets won the 2015 NHL draft.

 

 

 

 

Winnipeg GM Kevin Cheveldayoff has become, in our estimation, the best hockey executive in the world not named Ken Holland. His managing philosophy can be quite aptly described as the eye of the storm. He lets all the other front offices make panic trades and overpay free agents and worry about what the media will write about them and execute reactionary maneuvers, while the Jets simply wait it out calmly and build the talent base of their franchise from within.

 

 

How deep is the prospect pool of the Winnipeg Jets? We checked our lists and checked them twice: out of all 30 NHL clubs, there is only one team that Jets prospects Jansen Harkins and Nic Petan would not have cracked the top-five for: and that team is the Winnipeg Jets.

 

 

Well that is pretty telling.  Assume they mean Ehlers on the 3rd line.  Burmi too.  But whos taking that 4LW spot?  I'd love to see Stemp there.  Stemp-Copp-Thorburn looks like a decent 4th line to me.  I know Halischuk plays there sometimes but didnt he sign a two-way deal?

Important to remember: opening day lineup is never the same as the one you (hopefully) start the playoffs with. Chevy proved last season he'll act at the deadline to bring in rentals; no reason to believe he'd avoid doing the same in a similar situation this season.

Ehlers will Consider Swiss league if cut from Jets

Stempniak gets a meh from Me. He's still a free agent so he's either asking for too much money or who knows

Matt Fraser will be our 4th line winger - he's just the kind of low-key FA Chevy likes

 

Thorbs-Copp-Fraser
