Could Jakob Chychrun be the Winnipeg Jets' Missing Piece?

Jakob Chychurun, 24, is one of the best offensive defensemen in the NHL. He has been on a tear since making his season debut on Nov. 21. Chyrun has 13 points in 14 games and plays 22:13 per game. Winnipeg Jets are missing three top-nine forwards. They have a good team with a lot of potential, especially in terms of forwards and defense. They are also a team that can make a Stanley Cup run. The team has a Vezina Trophy frontrunner in Connor Hellebuyck.

Jakob Chychrun is wanted by Winnipeg Jets for two first-round picks and a high-end prospect. Jets lost to the Vegas Golden Knights in the Western Conference final last season. They had their best chances as contenders in 2017-18 when Dustin Byfuglien was playing well. If Jets are the dark-horse team that acquires Chiherer, it's safe to say they can go all-in for the next two years. It's the type of tough, all in move you make when you believe it can push your team over the top.
