Winnipeg Jets 2023 7th Round Draft Pick (210th overall): Connor Levis

From Kamloops Blazers of the WHL the Jets have taken Connor Levis. He’s a 6’1 194 right shooting centre from Vancouver.

From Elite Prospects rankings:
Ranked #63 by ELITEPROSPECTS.COM
Ranked #117 by FCHOCKEY
Ranked #86 by DAILY FACEOFF
Ranked #118 by THE HOCKEY NEWS
Ranked #214 by MCKEEN’S HOCKEY
Ranked #99 by TSN/CRAIG BUTTON
Ranked #75 by NHL CENTRAL SCOUTING (NA Skaters)
Ranked #81 by HPR/SHANE MALLOY
Ranked #86 by RECRUIT SCOUTING
Ranked #116 by DRAFT PROSPECTS HOCKEY

Via the Elite Prospects Draft Guide:
Connor Levis is an off-the boards playmaker, combining thievery, puck protection, and passing skill. He’s a machine on the end boards, turning puck battles into point-blank chances with backhand and slip passes under pressure. He builds the offence in transition, passing pucks laterally before relocating for a return pass. He skates his lanes, pushing back defenders or beating them into space and sealing off pressure.

From Scott Wheeler of The Athletic:
“Levis was a point-per-game player on a deep Blazers team this year while playing on both special teams and showing particular proficiency on the penalty kill.”
