Mark Scheifele's second go around with the Winnipeg Jets in trying to secure a roster spot with the NHL club is tempered by the fact that there are probably fewer top six spots for him to compete for. But being sent back to the OHL's Barrie Colts is neither an option nor a mindset for the 2011 first round draft pick.
Scheifele is here to make the team and to stick around permanently. He may play as a second-liner with Kyle Wellwood or a third liner with Chris Thorburn and Mark Stuart, but that would be a waste of his talent. Scheifele will eventually be a bona fide NHL star. That time may not be this year, but soon. The Jets have him in camp to be top-liner, not to be a mucker and grinder.
