Last year was a disappointment for the 23-year-old as he missed 19 games and scored only 41 points (19 goals, 22 assists). That disappointment, combined with character issues, has prompted rumors of him being traded. But, if Kane can overcome these issues and allow his talent to shine through to become the 50-goal scorer that he believes he can be, the Jets will surprise a lot of people in the Central. Defense The defense has a lot of potential with young players throughout the lineup, but they have yet to live up to their talent. The player that Winnipeg management is waiting on to develop the most is Zach Bogosian. The key for Bogosian is his health as he has missed nearly a full season, 59 games, over the last three years combined. It is difficult to develop the talent he has if he cannot stay on the ice. Last season Bogosian had only 11 points (3 goals, 8 assists) as he had multiple injuries nagging him throughout the season. The Jets will need him to overcome these injury issues and start to develop into the top-pair defenseman the Jets thought they were drafting with third-overall pick in 2008. While Bogosian is developing slower than expected, the Jets were forced to play another young defenseman because of his impressive play. Jacob Trouba played very well in his rookie season as he accumulated 29 points (10 goals, 19 assists) in 65 games played. While his offensive statistics are impressive enough for a rookie defenseman, he also showed the ability to keep the opposition from scoring has he had a positive plus/minus in his first year in the league. If the 20-yearold continues to develop at this pace, the Jets could have a future star on their hands. Although the Jets are hinging their hopes on developing their young blue-liners, they have one of the more consistent defenseman throughout the NHL in Tobias Enstrom to lead by example. Leading
