Jets Could Jump the Draft Board If Sharks Pass on Stenberg

The Jets may be watching the board with one hand on the trade-up button, and that tells you they are not treating this draft like a quiet exercise. If San Jose goes defenseman instead of Ivar Stenberg, Winnipeg could have a path to move up and chase the player it wants. That is the kind of draft-night maneuvering that can make a front office look brilliant or reckless by midnight. In the NHL, patience is nice, but sometimes the board forces your hand.
