Ville Heinola or Logan Stanley? Who’s the solution to Winnipeg Jets’ third-pair problems?

New York Times  

Winnipeg’s third defence pair of Ville Heinola and Logan Stanley is a short-term problem that is supposed to provide a long-term solution. It’s been eight years since Winnipeg traded up to take Stanley in the 2016 draft and five years since Heinola was taken with the first-round pick Winnipeg got back, in part, for Jacob Trouba. Scott Arniel has played the smaller, offensively inclined Heinola on his offhand side alongside the bigger, occasionally physical Stanley on Winnipeg’s third pairing. My view is that Winnipeg’s best six defencemen, when healthy, are Josh Morrissey, Dylan Samberg, Pionk, DeMelo, Miller and then some combination of Fleury, Heinola, Stanley and seldom-used Dylan Coghlan.
