All eyes are currently on the Winnipeg Jets prospects to see what kind of impact they can have ahead of the 2024-25 NHL regular season.

Among the prospects Jets enthusiasts are paying close attention to is Finish defenceman Ville Heinola. Heinola is a first round 2019 draft pick and is hoping to make big splashes next season year for the Jets.
The 23-year-old has put together some solid years in the AHL, so there is reason to believe that he could compete for an NHL job this year. Perhaps this could be the year that he takes that much-needed step forward in his development and becomes a true top-six defenseman.

Although, the road hasn't been easy so far for Ville Heinola. Unfortunately, last season was plagued with injuries for the young defenseman which took a toll on his development.
The Jets have typically been known for being quite sound defensively, but there are some big question marks surrounding their back end as of late.
Jets fans will be paying close attention to the third pairing featuring Colin Miller and Logan Stanley. If the pair fail to generate significant results early on, Ville Heinola will be the first in line to provide some relief, ultimately making him the top breakout candidate for the Jets.
