Fantasy Impact:
Josh Morrissey had a productive season in 2018-19, putting up 39 points in just 59 games. The 24 year-old should have another productive season in 2019-20. The departure of both Jacob Trouba and Tyler Myers has left the Jets with a lot of minutes to fill on the back-end. Josh Morrissey will be a main beneficiary of the vacated minutes and opportunity in Winnipeg. Morrissey will see increased playing time this year — he set a career-high with 22:24 minutes in 2018-19— as well as a greater role on the power play. Josh Morrissey's point totals have increased every year he has been in the NHL, and 2019-20 should see that trend continue. Morrissey certainly has some fantasy break-out appeal.
