When the Winnipeg Jets fell to No. 8 in the NHL Draft lottery, there was a moment of panic among fans.Not only had the lottery ball that would have propelled Winnipeg’s pick all of the way to No. 1 been spotted behind Toronto’s lottery-winner, but the draft was meant to have seven great prospects in it, before a drop-off to an obvious second tier. Had the Jets missed out on the best talent in the class by moving down a single spot?Caleb Malhotra’s steep climb in draft rankings put an end to that concern. When I wrote about a clear top seven in early March, it was before Malhotra’s outstanding OHL playoffs led to his emergence as the consensus No. 1 centre in this year’s draft. The pool of top candidates expanded to eight: Malhotra, plus elite left wings, Gavin McKenna, Ivar Stenberg, and top defencemen, Chase Reid, Carson Carels, Keaton Verhoeff, Alberts Šmits, and Daxon Rudolph.But wait, there’s more. When we detailed eight players that could be available to the Jets at No. 8, Viggo Björck was a popular target in the comments. Now that his World Championships impressed so many people, the Swedish centre has entered some analysts’ top-10 lists, too.Add it all up and Winnipeg is on track to get a great prospect with the No. 8 pick. But who will be available? And who should they pick when it’s their turn?For that, we turn to an assortment of industry experts:
