The Winnipeg Jets organization is stacked with highly touted, flashy young prospects at both the NHL and AHL levels — whether it’s Kyle Connor and Jack Roslovic with the big club or Sami Niku and Mason Appleton getting ripe on the farm.
C.J. Suess may not bring the same level of sizzle, but there’s ample reason to believe this meat-and-potatoes type of player might just carve out a lengthy career for himself.
Suess, 24, has opened plenty of eyes at training camp this month — including those of Jets head coach Paul Maurice. He’s got a goal and two assists in three pre-season games and will suit up again tonight in Minnesota for another close look by the club.
