The Jets believe Ville Heinola's skill and hockey sense are his best assets.

VANCOUVER — Mark Hillier is hoping the 2019 draft class for the Winnipeg Jets will be a case of quality over quantity.

While the Jets only had five picks over the two-day event here in Vancouver, they believe they've come away with five solid prospects who will help them down the road. That includes using the first two picks to land puck-moving defencemen from Finland and Sweden, a couple of centremen from Finland and Canada, and then an American goaltender.
