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

It’s my personal preference. I also would like Lekkernaki. If Nazar somehow falls to 14 I’d be all over that.

I think both Lekkerimaki and Nazar are gone before the Jets pick though, but who knows.

At #14, just take the best player available. Hopefully someone will drop into their laps like the past two years.

Do not use the AGM forum to ask unrelated questions in future.

I think that Lekkermaki is going to SJ, but Nazar has been falling in the ranks and so has Savoie

There’s always a player that drops. Or a few. Guys like Lambert, Nazar all have a chance to drop.

Geekie will be gone before the Jets even get the chance to pick him

Yeah I think some team will reach for him because he's a big center and all, but 14 is pretty much where he should go talent-wise

Conor Geekie is never going to be a franchise center. I would be hard pressed if he even became a 2C
