Winnipeg Jets Director (Amateur Scouting) Mark Hillier at 2017 Entry Draft

A chat with the Jets Director of Amateur Scouting Mark Hillier on TSN 1290 Winnipeg:

Mark Hillier:  On moving from 13 to 24.  His thoughts on the Jets selections over the past two days.  What can he say about Arvid Holm.  His thoughts on the Jets targeting defence and about Dylan Samberg.  On the selection of Skyler McKenzie.  The growth of Johnathan Kovacevic.  More about Croix Evingson.  The connection between Vesalainen and Laine.

Here is a video of Hillier’s scrum after the draft:

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.
