Two seasons ago, if you would’ve asked me who the NHL’s most underrated player was, I probably would’ve said Bryan Little to be completely honest. Now I think it’s Mark Scheifele. He’s easily the best player on the Winnipeg Jets, and a top ten player in the league.
The Winnipeg Jets drafted Mark Scheifele with their first pick ever as the Winnipeg Jets 2.0 in 2011, at seventh overall. Scheifele, well, he wasn’t very big at all. He came in for the first seven games of the season, scoring one goal before heading back to juniors.
