I've big hopes for Eiserman, who becomes our 3rd ranked prospect, and heads off to the NCAA Div I, at Robert Morris for the next two seasons.

Simko and Sitar also come really highly rated, and will be picked up on contracts, and sent back to Junior hockey to develop.

Of previously drafted prospects, Nicholas Moldenhauer (2022, 57th), is coming off a 90 point season in the OHL at Ottawa, having developed at a point per game over the last 4 seasons. He'll come into the Jets hierarchy and get some game time either in the AHL or as a 3rd/4th centre.

Simon Nemec (2022, 27th), played first line minutes at Dynamo Moscow in the KHL, and his contract is up at the end of next season, so, hopefully, he can be convinced to move over the the NHL and continue his excellent development.

Reid Andresen (2023, 31st) had an All Star season in the WHL, winning the league MVP, Best Defenceman and was a First Team All Star, despite his Medicine Hat team falling at the first hurdle in the playoffs. He will move up to the NHL for the preseason, before either returning to Medicine Hat, or spending the season in Manitoba.
