Winnipeg Jets 2018 Fifth Round Draft Pick (150th overall): Declan Chisholm

This pick came to the Jets via the Drew Stafford trade to the Boston Bruins back in 2017.  It was a conditional 6th rounder but became a 5th rounder because the Bruins made the playoffs and Stafford played in 50% of the games.

Declan Chisholm is a 6’1″ 185 lbs left shooting defenceman from Bowmanville, Ontario playing for the Peterborough Petes of the OHL.
