Harkins has been an NHL regular for the last two seasons including playing 77 games for Winnipeg last year. It has not been a straightforward path to the NHL but hard work got the 2015 2nd rounder there in the first place and his work ethic is what will get him back up there on a regular basis.
The Jets did claim Axel Jonsson-Fjallby from the Capitals. He is a 24 year old left shooting Swedish winger who played 23 games for Washington last season who had two goals and two assists. He laso played 44 games for Hershey scoring 16 goals and adding 18 assists.
