Mark Edwards sort of likes him.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Everyone will like him after this year. London should be really good and he ill put points and everyone will breath a sigh of relief

Considering his age you would really hope so.

They're hoping he's a late bloomer, but it seems weird that someone bigger than his peers and is already a great skater will develop as a late bloomer. It feels like being good at hockey should be the first skill and then you'd develop the others. Guess we'll see though.

Only overage by 3 days

Hopefully gets a bigger role in London next season

Are you confusing Jacob Julien with Julien Jacob?

Edit: Ah, I see he is still an overager by 3 days. Thanks @Rheged

You can't teach 6'4"?

Seriously, seems like a decent pick.

He's one of the older players in the draft and is only just entering the OHL whereas a lot of his peers being drafted have 1.5-2 seasons of major junior play at this point in their development already.

That's what I mean we have to be hoping he's a late bloomer.

Seeing Mark Edwards with some positivity gives me some hope. Hopefully he has a good year and takes a big step forward.

He had a great playoffs. Very excited to see how he builds on that

 

[surixon]

I'm ok with him in the 5th. We will see how he builds on it next year.

I've noticed that Julien's starts are more impressive than any other player from the 2023 Jets draft picks, especially as of late. Is anyone following this guys career?
