Related Topics: Winnipeg Jets

It was evident last season defensive depth on the Winnipeg Jets is a big issue. Luckily they have a reinforcement on the way.

Mark Stuart had the worst season of his career. His foot speed decreased significantly, which caused his regular physical play to diminish. He was responsible for many goals against, posting a minus-7 for the season. As much as being a defensive liability didn’t help the team, his little significance as a successful puck moving defensemen or offensive threat were no where. If Mark Stuart weren’t the biggest leader in the dressing room, there’s no way he would still be around.
