For most of the NHL season, the focus I’ve had on where the Winnipeg Jets could improve without making a huge move at the trade deadline — which is less than two weeks away — has been on defence. The drop in defensive effectiveness from last season, combined with some decent and undervalued names being available, makes it an intriguing proposition.
However, while guesting on a recent episode of the Hockey PDOcast with Dimitri Filipovic, he brought up how well trade acquisition Paul Stastny fit last season, allowing Bryan Little to slide down a line, and make the Jets four-lines deep at centre.
