Tell me about his game.
His star seems to fall with each passing year.
What's his deal?

Mackattack said:He was a major prospect when he first came into the OHL.
However he also has major attitude and commitment issues. He demanded to be traded (unheard of in the OHL) a couple of years back, which raised a lot of eyebrows.
I've seen him play, and he seemed very lazy and uninterested. Doubt that will ever translate into a good pro career.
Apparantly, he had a decent year in Owen Sound though, I could be wrong.

Nashville, one of the most center-starved teams in the league at both the NHL and prospect level...didn't even bother to TRY to sign him, despite his terrific production. He then went undrafted two straight years after re-entering, again...despite great point totals, good size and good skating.
i'm just saying...take it for what it's worth. poile values prospects...but he let this one go out the door, despite seemingly filling a need at least at the AHL level.TinCanCommunications said:Which doesn't jive with what others are saying about his recent play with Owen Sound, since repairing a heart condition.
Anyway, he and Robin Big Snake are at the Wings camp and seem to be the most intriguing of the unsigned invites
Thanks for all your help, folks.

Jarrett is a guy who gave 110% at alll times for Owen Sound. A true leader, never gave up on a play and was always there for his teammates. It would warm my heart to see him latch on somewhere.
Sometimes I'll take a guy like that with mediocre skill level who gives everything he has for his team over some differently prioritized higher profile members of the Atack like mentioned in your username.
