DeMelo Stays Steady as Jets Bank on the Same Old Trust

Dylan DeMelo put together another quiet, dependable season, which is exactly the sort of work that gets noticed most inside an NHL room. He is not the guy who fills highlight reels, but shutdown defenders rarely are, and coaches love the kind of detail he brings every night. Year-in-review pieces like this usually tell you more about a player’s value than the box score ever does. Winnipeg keeps leaning on the same steady habits, and DeMelo remains one of the reasons that formula still holds.
