With their final selection of the second day of the Draft the Jets go back to the OHL to select Kieron Walton 6’5 203 pound centre/winger playing for the Sudbury Wolves.
Elite prospects describe him as:
Vision and puck skills drive Walton’s game. He’s a skilled passer, capable of slipping pucks underneath defender’s sticks to open teammates driving the net. Whether he’s deking through defenders or knocking down tricky passes, he uses his full reach to handle the puck and make the next play.
Where he was projected in the consolidated rankings of Elite Prospects:
Ranked #76 by THN/FERRARI
Ranked #189 by MCKEEN’S HOCKEY
Ranked #129 by FCHOCKEY
Ranked #117 by NHL CENTRAL SCOUTING (NA Skaters)
Ranked #93 by DRAFT PROSPECTS HOCKEY
