Depth seems to be bursting at the seams of the Winnipeg Jets defence core. Dustin Byfuglien, Jacob Trouba, Tyler Myers, and Toby Enstrom are the team’s top four and you have to figure Mark Stuart and Mark Stuart’s contract in as a regular as well.
Fans of the Jets will know from last year’s never-ending run to the infirmary that depth is a good thing. In fact, the Jets iced 13 different defenceman last year, ranging from Byfuglien’s 69 games to Julien Brouillette’s nine minutes and 33 seconds of icetime against San Jose in January. But with a healthy blueline, the Jets only have one starting spot and a couple of seats in the press box for a wide-ranging assortment of defenceman.
