The Jets count on all of their players to play to their strengths. As simple as it sounds, they play like a team. Everyone tows the rope in the same direction.
DeMelo is a proverbial 'swiss army knife' for Winnipeg. He matches up against top six forwards, kills penalties, provides some secondary offense, pushes back physically, and block shots. An established second pairing 'D' who doesn't get enough credit for his impact.
