The Winnipeg Select Danny Zhilkin 77th Overall

With the 77th overall pick in the draft, the Winnipeg Jets have selected Danny Zhilkin from the Guelph Storm. Danny is one of the more intriguing selections, bringing a versatile toolset that can be deployed in all situations. He has a solid defensive game married to good spatial awareness and decision-making. His decent skating, well-rounded passing, and good shot give him the tools to carve out a quality depth role at the NHL level. Zhilkin will have some work to do to get his game up to pro-level speed, but the foundation is relatively strong. He projects to fall somewhere into a 3rd or 4th line role.
