The Winnipeg Jets gotta replace the pipeline sometime. One of NHL’s best development systems churned out a lot of talent as of late, but you have to always plan for the future in this league. Even when you’re good. Or else you get left behind.
I find NHL prospects to be the most difficult to project among the four major sports. NFL is pretty easy, as is the NBA. MLB prospects have insane amounts of variance and risk, but so much is written about them, it’s hard to miss out on someone promising.
The NHL is another world.
