NHL Projections: Winnipeg Jets Lineup

The Winnipeg Jets had a rough season last year and missed the playoffs by a lot.  This year, I think things improve.  The Jets are a good young team and have the talent to make the playoffs.  Their biggest obstacle is the division they play in.  The Central Division is stacked.  I think Winnipeg competes for a playoff spot this year.  I don't know if they get in, but I think they have a shot at a wild card spot.  They have a talented forward group, but defense and goaltending remains a question mark.  Here is what the Jet's lineup should look like to start the season.
