The Jets go the goalie route with their first selection of Day 2 of the NHL Draft picking Samuel Hrenak in the third round (71st overall). He’s a 6’3″ Slovakian netminder who catches left.
Elite prospects describe him as:
Hrenák is an absolute dog — something he no doubt learned he needed to be to survive against pro competition in Slovakia. He pairs that engine with quick feet, which allow him to reach the play with his feet, even if he’s late to a read.
Where he was projected in the consolidated rankings of Elite Prospects:
Ranked #118 by ELITEPROSPECTS.COM
Ranked #88 by THN/KENNEDY
Ranked #111 by MCKEEN’S HOCKEY
Ranked #54 by FLOHOCKEY/CHRIS PETERS
Ranked #9 by NHL CENTRAL SCOUTING (NA Goalies)
