Winnipeg Jets pipeline

The Winnipeg Jets farm system is currently ranked 23rd by Puck Pipeline. Despite the pipeline having some great talent, it lacks depth down to the floor. The Rutger McGroarty situation wasn't optimal, but Winnipeg managed to recuperate a talented prospect in the form of Brayden Yager, who potentially has more offensive upside than McGroarty, but does not possess the all-around game that might make McGroarty a special player in this league. 2023-24 was a big season for Brad Lambert, as the Finnish forward thrived in the AHL with the Moose. Despite this pipeline being on the fringes of the bottom-third, it weirdly has a lot of upside.
