Maurice has lots of talented options to fill Jets roster spots

It's time to confess... the National Hockey League exhibition season is not usually my cup of tea. However, this Winnipeg Jets team has so many legitimate battles going on for positions that I've actually enjoyed the experience.

The problem with early exhibition games is that too often an opposing player is inferior and is unlikely to play an NHL game that year. I’ll see a sweet dangle or shot in the early games and end up checking an unknown number on an opposing lineup sheet.

However, I do like seeing a pattern emerge such as what has happened with rookie forward Kyle Connor.
