With their first selection on day 2 the Jets drafted Swedish left shot (who plays on the right side) defenceman Alfons Freij playing for Växjö Lakers HC J20. He is listed by Elite Prospects at 6’1 and 196 lbs.
Elite prospects describe him as:
Alfons Freij is a graceful, puck-moving defenceman. Capable of shifting his weight left and right with the same ease, the defenceman constantly applies deception to his every move and passes. His loose hips and swiveling torso make it hard for the opposition to stay with him

Two minutes of Alfons Freij’s best offensive moments from last season.
Jumping on rushes, well-timed weak side activations, powerful skating fakes to beat pressure at the point, skilled give-and-go ideas, lateral movement to get his shot open. #2024NHLDraft pic.twitter.com/4WGsNFMdjq
