The Winnipeg Jets will wish this is a reality, but it isn’t. Let’s assume it’s like a fantasy draft. The Jets hold the first pick, and can have any unrestricted free agent.
Who would they choose? So, my first thought was that the Jets need a second line center. It’s a huge deal, considering they’ve spent the past two first round picks trading for one mid-season.
Kevin Hayes would be a rock-solid pick, but we just saw the team fall in the first round with Hayes on the roster. Obviously, there are other centers, too.
