13. Winnipeg Jets – Eeli Tolvanen (LW, Sioux City Musketeers, USHL)

Taking a Finn worked out for the Jets last year, so why not do it again, right?

In all seriousness, if Tolvanen is around at 13th, the Jets would be smart to take him. The Vihti, Finland native is an electric forward who has a huge shot. He’s a powerplay specialist and shows flashes of Alex Ovechkin in the way he sets up at the top of the circle. He would easily slot in as a first or second line left winger with Nikolaj Ehlers.
