Jets news:
The Athletic: Jets are No. 13 in 2023 NHL prospect pool rankings. (Paywall). I think folks are sleeping on Henri Nikkanen (2019 4th) as he is a bit more of a defensive specialist, but with his big body and responsibility in the D zone, I feel like he is a prospect that I think probably could have made this list.
