F Seth Jarvis - Portland Winterhawks, WHL (2020, 13th, CAR)

[Deif]

Curious if anyone has seen him play. Really liked him in minor hockey, now he's hitting his stride in junior with 8 points in 11 games to start his 16 year old season.

Definitely a player to keep an eye on moving forward. I thought he was one of the best players on Canada Red for the World U17 Challenge.

 

[Stive Morgan]

One of my favourites from the 2017 WHL Bantam Draft. Wouldn't be surprised if he's a Top 10 pick in 2020.

I'm really optimistic about him and think he could be a first rounder next year, but I am biased being a Winterhawk fan. He really impressed me last year in his call-up by not being out of place despite being 15 years old. As a 16 year old he's being relied upon in a top 6 role here and shined internationally in the U17s. I also like that he gets a full year of mentorship from Glass and Blichfeld when it was possible neither would be here this season and he'd have to learn to be "the guy" in the WHL too early and alone.

He is a really smart player. Was impressed with him at the U17.

Drew a penalty shot tonight in OT and won the game for Portland. Despite being one of the smaller players on the ice, he fights hard to get to the net and fights for position screening the goalie. You see flashes of what he can do with the puck, just needs more time to develop. Really excited to see him be "the man" next year.

Dude's already the man imo

 

[BKarchitect]

Who projects better as a pro prospect, Jarvis or McClennon? Both are undersized (at this point...of course they could grow) but really skilled.

He's great but this is Glass' team. However with that scary knee injury last night, the handover may be now

 

[canucklax]

With 28 points in 43 games played, Seth is the highest scoring 2002 born in the WHL, 1 ahead of Ozzy Weisblatt of Prince Albert

 

[canucklax]

Watching the games against Red Deer and Seattle this weekend, Seth showed he is very dangerous with the puck, very much a prototypical small dangler player. He looks to shoot much more often than pass when he is making these moves, I'd personally like to see him use his linemates more and add more playmaking ability to balance out his skillset. He is a very willing and able forechecker and shows a high work rate to fight to get the puck back for his team.

In good company for rookie Winterhawks

 

[Dominance]

Looking extremely good all-around at the Hlinka.

 

[1967th Heaven]

Looking extremely good all-around at the Hlinka.

Agreed, he has been one of Canada's most impressive forwards

 

[canucklax]

Rated a B level skater by NHL central scouting's preliminary ranking. Would be a steal if he falls past the 30-45 range. Has 1+4 in 5 games so far

 

[canucklax]

Really heating up as Portland is on a hot streak recently. Has 7 points (4+3) in his last 2 games for 43 points in 35 games this season.

 

[FrankGallagher]

On an absolutely dominant run of late. Elite skater who has an impressive top speed that he can reach within a couple of steps. Plays way bigger than his size and excels at fighting his way through checks, he is extremely difficult to knock off stride and is constantly looking to drive the net and attack off the rush. He can think the game fast enough to keep up with his skating and has a good offensive toolkit with an accurate shot and the ability to make passes through defenders. Good but not elite hands as he beats defenders more with his explosiveness than stickhandling. Jarvis is an extremely fun player to watch because he is relentless and always looking to make something happen. This season he has really asserted himself as the best forward on a very deep Portland team, and has been forcing his way into first round consideration for me.

Still not even a second page to his thread? The lack of attention is just criminal at this point. Jarvis is now scoring at a 1.5 P/G pace as the clear top offensive weapon on a well balanced but certainly not star-studded Portland team, while looking to have only greatly built on his good skating and two-way play. Looking historically, that kind of WHL performance makes a player of his ilk a top-10 pick.

Definitely going to be tuning in closely over the rest of the season. Don’t be surprised if he ends up displacing some very prominent names come June.

 

[Steve Kournianos]

Absolute lock for the first round and deservedly so. One of my favorite players in this draft.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Has anyone (officially) ranked him yet? Where does he rank?.
I don't remember his name in any of the lists iv'e read so far.

 

[landy92mack29]

It's close between him, Wiesblatt and Sourdif for 6th best player out of the whl this year for me with Zary, Schneider, Guhle, Neighbours and Greig ahead.

 

[themelkman]

Was very good in the game I saw earlier this year. Hope he slips into the second somehow though

 

[Bileur]

Any relation to Doug?

 

[Ghost Town]

And with 2 goals and an assist through only the first period tonight, he is up to 62 pts. Passing Zary for most in the whl as draft eligible players
