SUNRISE, Fla. — Jansen Harkins had to wait... and wait... and wait. And yet for a hockey-crazed kid who grew up in a hockey-crazed family, there is no better thrill than hearing your named called out and pulling on a team jersey.

"It’s exciting," Harkins said after the Winnipeg Jets used their third pick of the draft, halfway through Saturday’s second round, on him.
