With the debut of the highly anticipated NHL season right around the corner, arm chair GM's across the league are gearing up for fantasy league hockey.
Get your beers ready, because it almost fantasy league hockey time in the NHL. Its no secret that the Winnipeg Jets have arguably the most dynamic offensive firepower in the NHL. With that in mind, who does the NHL recommend you keep on your fantasy radar?
Kyle Connor
Connor led the Jets with 34 goals last season, his sixth season of at least 30 goals since 2017-18; he ranks ninth in the League in goals over that span (241). Connor had the 12th-most goals per game (0.52; minimum 60 games) last season. He is among NHL.com's top 30 overall fantasy rankings in redraft leagues.

Connor Hellebuyck
Hellebuyck won his second Vezina Trophy with 37 wins in 60 games (second behind Alexandar Georgiev's 38), a 2.39 goals-against average (third), .921 save percentage (led League; minimum 30 games) and five shutouts (tied for fifth) and was one of three goalies to play at least 60 games.

Josh Morrissey
He followed up his breakout 2022-23 season (76 points in 78 games) with 69 points (10 goals, 59 assists) in 81 games. Morrissey was a multicategory standout with 90 hits, 103 blocks, a plus-34 rating (tied for eighth) and an NHL career-high 196 shots on goal. He remains a top 10 fantasy defenseman option.

Mark Scheifele
He led the Jets with 72 points (25 goals, 47 assists) in 74 games, his fifth 70-point season in the NHL. Scheifele is a fixture as the No. 1 center at even strength and on the power play, where he skates with Connor, Morrissey and forward Gabriel Vilardi.

Nikolaj Ehlers
After a slow start to last season (11 points in 22 games), Ehlers finished strong with 50 points (19 goals, 31 assists) over his final 60 games. A potential unrestricted free agent after the season, Ehlers is worth reaching for in fantasy around the top 75 overall and could benefit from a power-play spark under Arniel.
