This draft seems very deep but doesn't have as much "Start power" as the 2023 draft. My pick would Be Conor Geekie if he is available. He is a very polarizing player, some scouts believe that he could become a franchise center, but others can't get past his below-average skating. I believe that he can become a big, tough, top 6 two-way center with great hands. I could see him staying in the WHL for at least one more season to be the main guy on the team as Savoie will probably get a shot in the NHL next year. If he can improve his skating over next season then he can probably jump into the NHL in the 2023-24 season on the 3rd line.
Some players that should be there:
Conor Geekie
Rutger McGroatry
Marco Kasper
Jonathan Lekkerimaki
Issac Howard
Denton Mateychuk
Brad Lambert
Kevin Korchinski
Danila Yurov
Players that could drop to the Jets pick:
Frank Nazar
Cutter Gauthier
Matt Savoie
Pavel Mintykov
