Logan Stanley is looking ahead to the 2024-25 NHL season to prove his value to the team.
Being a first round draft pick in the NHL can be a blessing and a curse. Although being drafted in the first round is a distinguished honour, it also comes with some added pressure.
Stanley has not exactly lived up to his 1st round potential. After 2 seasons in the AHL to begin his pro career, Stanley has spent the last 4 seasons with the Jets. Stanley hasn't be able to play a «full» season yet because he has dealt with some injuries or been a «7th» defence at times in the season.
The 2024-25 season will be an important year for Stanley, as he looks to try to secure an everyday role as a shutdown defenceman. Although he has not lived up to the hype quite yet, next season is a big opportunity for him.
