Wouldn't mind taking a chance on Khovanov. His whole season was pretty much derailed by sickness and his draft stock dropped like a rock.
Yeah Colin White and I think Matt Barzal battled mono and ended up dropping a lot in their draft year. Khovanov sees the ice really well, has good hands and is a really solid passer. Has a pretty slick shot as well. Definitely needs to work on his skating.
I'm not entirely sure how the Jets feel about Russians though. In 52 picks through 7 drafts they have only selected 2 Russians. Pavel Kraskovsky, a center, at 164th overall in the 6th round of the 2014 draft, who I believe just signed an extension through the 19/20 season in the KHL.
And Mikhal Berdin, a goalie, picked at 157th overall in the 6th round of the 2016 draft. We just signed him not long ago.
Jets definitely seem to shy away from Russians.
