The 2015 NHL Draft is having an immediate impact on the Calder Trophy race according to the Hockey’s Future staff. In our initial staff poll, the top two players taken in Florida this past June occupy the first and third spots respectively. Read more»

Jack Glover - Winnipeg Jets

The Winnipeg Jets have effectively erased the memories of ineffective drafting that plagued the franchise’s Atlanta incarnation. Mark Scheifele and Adam Lowry, taken in 2011, are already NHL players capable of tough minutes. 2012 picks Jacob Trouba and Connor Hellebuyck are developing well as pros – albeit at different stages. While players picked in 2013 and onward remain to be judged, the early returns are excellent. Scouting is only one part of the equation that leads to a successful NHL franchise, but it is a crucial aspect for a frugal team like Winnipeg.
