If you were expecting the Jets to select 123rd so were we but they dealt pick 123 (4th round) and 219 (7th round) to the Sabres to move up to 109 where they selected Kevin He. He is a winger who plays in the OHL with the Niagara Icedogs. He’s 5’11 and 181 pounds as per Elite Prospects.
Here is more on He’s road to the NHL.
Elite prospects describe him as:
An elite motor – that’s the source of He’s success. It powers every part of his game, including his non-stop forechecking presence, knack for stealing the puck at the blue line, and explosive open-ice hits. It’s also how He generates offence. He burns past defenders with powerful strides to get to the net, dropping the shoulder if necessary.
Where he was projected in the consolidated rankings of Elite Prospects:

Ranked #79 by TSN/BOB McKENZIE
Ranked #79 by THN/KENNEDY
