Buffalo just took on a whole new appeal

Preparations for the 2016 NHL Draft in Buffalo just underwent a course correction for the Winnipeg Jets.

The Jets made the biggest move of Saturday’s NHL Draft lottery, bouncing from sixth to the second-overall choice on June 24.

Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff and his amateur scouts now have some clarity on the first round and will be looking at things a little differently.

'It's a lot more interesting now'-- Jets' GM Kevin Cheveldayoff, on preparations for the draft June 30
