36. Dylan DeMelo

36. Dylan DeMelo

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.
