While I can’t be certain of the Winnipeg Jets‘ motives in their entirety, the signing of Kristian Vesalainen to an entry-level contract means something.
He’s on their radar, at the least. The move stateside shows that Winnipeg is willing to give him a shot. Vesalainen is an option. Which is good. I’m one step closer to my lineup predictions coming true.
Vesalainen is by far the best prospect in the Jets system, and it’s exciting to see him so close to getting his chance. He’ll play the entire regular season at age 19, so it’s still early, but hey, I’m excited.
