The Winnipeg Jets took their revamped top line out for a test drive on Monday night. While it would be a stretch to say they left an overmatched opponent in their dust on every shift, it was a promising preseason debut for Mark Scheifele, Kyle Connor and their new right-winger Gabriel Vilardi at Canada Life Centre. A tic-tac-toe first period power play goal by the talented trio — Scheifele to Vilardi to Connor — opened the scoring and stood as the winner in a 5-0 victory over a collection of hockey players wearing Edmonton Oilers jerseys.
The Winnipeg Jets recently kicked off their 2023 training camp and there was a decent amount of anticipation mixed with uncertainty surrounding the upcoming season. The comments made by Jets general manager (GM) Kevin Cheveldayoff prior to and during the start of the training camp have, in my opinion, stirred the pot on his plan to treat Scheifele and Hellebuyck as self-rentals in hopes of them re-signing. Scheifele and Hellebuyck have been the cornerstone players for the Jets for years.
There's plenty of star power to be had at forward. Let's examine the fantasy hockey draft landscape at the priority position.
