Note: Today is the final day for the Jets to sign 2023 7th rounder Connor Levis. We already know he’s committed to play for Bowling Green in the NCAA but this would be the last day of their exclusive signing rights.
Note II: Jets draft pick Dmitry Rashevsky (2021 5th) was qualified by his club (Dynamo) but given we haven’t heard anything it seems like he might be ready to come over to North America with his first ever Jets deal but we will have to wait and see.
Note III: Jets prospect Jacob Julien (2023 5th) and his London Knights are in their second straight Memorial Cup Final and looking to avenge last season’s loss. This time around it will be the OHL vs the WHL as they’ll be taking on Medicine Hat this evening with puck drop at 6 PM CDT.
