Winnipeg Jets 2017 First Round Draft Pick (24th overall): Kristian Vesalainen

Jets fans had to wait almost 2.5 hours since the draft began but they finally heard who the team selected with the 24th overall selection.  It is Kristian Vesalainen a 6’3″ 209 lbs Finnish left shooting winger who plays with Frolunda in the SHL.  He compares his playing style to Rick Nash.

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.
