Winnipeg Jets
Selection:
Chris Thorburn
**TRADE: Golden Knights receive 1st round pick (#13) and 3rd round pick for 1st round pick (#24)**
The Golden Knights gave the Jets a pass on the Expansion Draft in exchange for a 3rd round pick and a nine spot jump in the first round of this the Entry Draft. That nine spot jump got the Golden Knights Nick Suzuki. It’s going to take a while before we know what Suzuki ends up being, but he appears to be a good one. Of course, all the credit doesn’t go on Winnipeg as the original pick came from Columbus. Nonetheless, moving up in the first round is always valuable and there wasn’t much else there from Winnipeg to take a look at.
