Great spot for a fan of the visiting team because this is where they shoot twice. Your instinct says closest seat to the glass is the best. I would say if you live for the fights and checks, then yes. But otherwise, you'll want rows 7-15 because you'll be able to see the other side of the ice fairly well. If I could afford season tickets, this is where I would want to sit on a nightly basis. Unfortunately, the "real fans" in Winnipeg can no longer afford tickets to games.
