Craig Button profiles the three Winnipeg Jets prospects at the World Junior Tournament

The World Junior Tournament is set to get underway in Edmonton this week and on yesterday’s Illegal Curve Hockey Show we had a chance to talk about the tournament with TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button.

Since we are a Winnipeg based show we are contractually obligated (that’s a joke) to ask about the Jets draft picks who are playing in this tournament. Winnipeg has Cole Perfetti (2020 1st rounder), Ville Heinola (2019 1st rounder) and Henri Nikkanen (2019 4th rounder).

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
