Tough as nails but not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

I know Jacob, hes a great person first and foremost, but also a very skilled player. Like has been said he plays with a lot of jam.

I can say with certainty Seattle was his 1st choice of all teams. Roy traded 3 picks just to move up and take him in the 1st round of the Q he liked his game that much.

More skill than advertised, i think people will come to realize.

Interestingly this kid is also one of the younger ones we have drafted. Has an April 2003 birthday.

 

[Maritime Hockey]

A great pickup for Seattle, I expect a big year from him this season with Bathurst.

How do you know him? I'm from Amherst and he is a friend of our family.

This dude is pretty good

I have no idea how our 1st year picks will translate at the NHL level but so far they have all looked fairly decent in their +1 years.
