Gaps on blue line open door to prospects

TREVOR HAGAN / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS

It is a temporary job opening the Winnipeg Jets would prefer not having to fill, given Josh Morrissey’s importance to the team’s overall success.

But, as long as the young defenceman remains out of training camp without a contract, someone is going to have to take his spot. Throw in the off-season departure of veteran Toby Enstrom (not re-signed by the club, has gone back to Europe to finish his career) and the shaky health history of a couple other players, and suddenly the left side of the blue-line is wide open.
