Winnipeg Jets Director of amateur scouting Mark Hillier reflects on the 2021 NHL Draft

Jets Director of amateur scouting Mark Hillier spoke following the conclusion of the virtual NHL Draft:

1) How would he assess things for the Jets and what can he say about Nikita Chibrikov?
2) What made selecting Dmitri Rashevsky in 2021 more attractive than in 2020 or 2019?
3) The Jets depth, from a prospect perspective, up the middle.
4) Opportunity for steals in the draft.
5) Helping North American scouts to acclimatize to helping with overseas scouts.
6) On Dmitry Kuzmin being able to play in North America
7) Charting “hockey sense”.
8) What did they take away from Chaz Lucius time when he was injured?

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.
