That's a big boy. Lots of upside here but has a lot of development to go.

 

[Scheifele55]

I think Kevin Cheveldayoff follwed Tony Ferrari's rankings =D

Freij was #7 and this guy #76.

Interestingly goaltender Marcus Vandenberg was a teammate of both Walton and He this year as he was dealt to Sudbury halfway through the year.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

Can't teach 6'5"

 

[JetsFan815]

Pretty decent CHL scoring for a guy that size.

 

[Thechozen1]

Had both Walton and He on my wish list for today, so I’m relatively pleased.

 

[Scheifele55]

That's a big boy. Lots of upside here but has a lot of development to go.

Earlier in the round Luke Ashton was taken. He is a big boy... 6'7" 231lbs but he is 19.

Best case scenario he’s better than Wayne Gretzky. Love to see it.

 

[Mud Turtle]

Hmmm. The Scouching Report likes this guy a lot too. Ranked #49.

 

[GJF]

Sounds like a very interesting pick

 

[Scheifele55]

Best case scenario he’s better than Wayne Gretzky. Love to see it.

Realistic best case scenario he's better than Brent Gretzky.

He and Walton were teammates in North York. Interesting.

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

Waltons nickname will be Walmart.

 

[Packofwolves]

Jeremy Jagr #2

Well if he’s better than Wayne Gretzky, he should be better than Brent, too.

 

[Hunter368]

Very interesting to see how he develops, could become a good player

 

[Jets 31]

Interesting that we didn't pick any Americans .

 

[Boxertim]

Big and athletic. I am sure the Jets are hoping that with the right train line, he will get better control of that huge frame

 

[Thechozen1]

Walton and Julien would be 2/3 of a tough line to control. While being huge, they’re both really skilled.

 

[Eyeseeing]

Can't teach 6'5"

The line that keeps on giving

Or John Boy.

 

[Daximus]

Maybe we can mold him into our future Lowry replacement. Seems to have better hands.
