Jets' sophomore centre savours chance to take on bigger role

YOU’RE not imagining things if you see Adam Lowry moving quickly to the head of the class.

The Winnipeg Jets are all-in on draft and develop and their general manager never fails to mention the word "patience."

Yet here are the Jets, clearly signalling before Lowry’s second NHL season even starts he’s a candidate for plenty more responsibility.

To start this year’s training camp, head coach Paul Maurice dropped an unexpected early surprise — the 22-year-old centre would be involved in an experimental promotion to the first line with Andrew Ladd and Bryan Little, sending Little at least temporarily over to the right wing.
