Winnipeg Jets Draft Boumedienne 28th Overall

News summary

The Winnipeg Jets selected Swedish-born, US-raised defenceman Sascha Boumedienne with the 28th overall pick in the first round of the 2025 NHL Entry Draft. Boumedienne, who recorded 13 points in 40 games for Boston University last season, is lauded for his elite skating, offensive skills, and record-setting performance at the World U18 championship. His NHL pedigree comes from his father, Josef Boumedienne. In the same draft, Manitoban players Peyton Kettles and Matthew Gard were picked in the second round by the Penguins and Flyers, and Carter Bear was chosen 13th overall by the Red Wings. Boumedienne is considered a high-potential, mobile defenceman, fitting the Jets’ trend of building a skilled blue line. The Jets have several selections remaining in the later rounds.
