Milic has re-established himself as a legitimate AHL starter this season, posting a 2.40 GAA and .913 save percentage through 28 games with Manitoba. It has been a meaningful bounce-back after a difficult 2024-25 campaign that saw him spend time in the ECHL. Sharing the crease with Domenic DiVincentiis in what has become a true goaltending tandem, Milic holds the edge on both draft pedigree and current performance. With Connor Hellebuyck locked in long-term and Eric Comrie as backup, there is no urgency from Winnipeg’s perspective, but a second strong AHL season would keep him on track toward a potential backup role down the line. Add him speculatively in dynasty formats as he may be next up in the depth chart if either of Winnipeg’s goaltenders goes down to injury.

The Winnipeg Jets will look for Milic to re-establish himself in the American Hockey League with the Manitoba Moose during the 2025-26 season. Last season, the 22-year-old Milic split his season between the AHL and ECHL. But only saw positive results in the ECHL with the Norfolk Admirals, although the team in front of him in the AHL did not do him any favours. Milic and fellow Jets goaltending prospect Domenic DiVincentiis are expected to tandem in net for Manitoba to open the 2025-26 season, with Isaac Coulter and Alex Worthington tending twine in the ECHL.

Milic is well off the fantasy radar in all leagues, including dynasty. With Connor Hellebuyck under contract with the Jets for the long term and veteran Eric Comrie as the backup, there is no need for the Jets organization to panic or rush Milic’s development. A successful season would be staying at the AHL level for the entire season and taking the starter’s role for the Moose.

Milic was named Warrior Hockey ECHL Goaltender of the Month for March. He went 7-2-2 with one shutout, a 1.70 GAA, and an SV% of .937 in 11 appearances during the month.

Milic has thrived in the ECHL after failing to build off his success in the AHL late in the 2023-24 season; while it is a step-down, at least he’s getting playing time to work on his game. Milic and Domenic DiVincentiis will compete for starts at the AHL and ECHL levels for the foreseeable future and are both far off the fantasy radar in Winnipeg.
