I personally like this pick a little more than Samberg.
19 points in 36 games was good for 9th in scoring among u20 D in the NCAA. A similar outcome from Samberg would be very very nice.

I think this is an underrated way of getting good prospects. If there is a player who has a draft+1 season that we would be happy with from a drafted player, nab him in the draft without looking back.
Kovacevic is another player who'll be playing in the Northeast, so there is a pretty good chance that I'll be able to catch a few games he plays over the next few years. Fun times.

I don't mind it for the mid to late rounds, but there is something to ne said for players who are standouts consistently, year after year.

Really liking his interviews and how enthusiastic he is to potentially be in Winnipeg. Nerding out over Scheifele and Ehlers etc. A good sign that if he progresses to NHL level and into free agency he'll stay signed here.

Do the Jets still own his rights for 4 years? Does him being an overage NCAA draftee change anything in how long the Jets get to hold his rights?

Well, that caught me by surprise. When you listed your location as The Bay Area, I assumed you meant The Bay Area, as in San Francisco.

Moving across the country in a couple of months.
Aah, well probably a good idea. Best to get away from that pesky San Andreas fault zone before The Big One hits.

From what I've read, it appears we hold his rights until August 15th following his senior year.

I gave a list of 3 OAs I thought Jets could gun for.
Truck made a joke that they scored so can't be them.
I didn't predict a round.
One advantage is that he looks to be pretty close to pro ready right now and could provide us with some much needed depth on defence by next season.

If he continues to develop well he could be pushing for a contract sooner rather than later. I'd love to see near .7 points per game next year with continued strong scouting reports.

I wonder how his interview with the Jets went... based on that interview, I can really see why we reached for him at 74. If you have a kid who seemingly would like to be a part of the organization and shows it too, I can't judge them for taking a chance on him.
