Yeah, we think David Gustafsson is going to make a pretty good first impression around these parts. It's clear he did on Jets brass, who made him their top pick of the 2018 NHL draft on Saturday.

"The fans are great. The hockey culture, it seems like a good team, that they're building something, and I'm so glad to be a part of it," said Gustafsson, who was selected 60th overall.
