Jets Lock Down Top Draft Pick Viggo Bjorck | Winnipeg News

Winnipeg Jets just made a splash by locking down top draft pick Viggo Bjorck, the 18-year-old Swedish phenom they selected eighth overall. Signed to a lucrative three-year deal worth over a million a year, Bjorck helped Sweden win gold at the World Juniors and shined at the men’s world championship. After putting up solid numbers in Sweden’s top league, he’s now set to make the leap to the NHL — a major move for a team that’s been quiet this offseason but just added key pieces like Ferraro and Skinner. Can Bjorck adapt and make an immediate impact? All eyes are on him. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
