Stanley, 18, is in his third season with the Ontario Hockey League's Windsor Spitfires. This season, the defenceman has nine points (2G, 7A) in 20 games. The native of Waterloo, Ont. was Winnipeg's second first-round selection at the 2016 NHL Draft. 

The pick that was used to acquire Stanley came over in the trade that sent former Jets captain Andrew Ladd to the Chicago Blackhawks which will likely lead to heightened scrutiny on the young man. That being said however the very poor performance of Ladd since leaving Winnipeg will likely take some of the pressure off of Stanley's back.
