The Winnipeg Jets were very fortunate to have traded for Defenseman, Dylan DeMelo at the 2020 Trade Deadline.  This was not just because of defensive skills, but because they had a player who wanted to be in frozen tundra of Winnipeg.

DeMelo plays hockey with a simple credo; protect your end of the ice.  An excellent penalty killer, DeMelo rarely puts the puck in the net, but can provide solid passing when needed.  In 2022/23, DeMelo had his best ever offensive numbers with 27 Points, and recorded 120 Hits.  Going into this year, DeMelo is a quiet contributor to a sneaky good team.
