BLADE JENKINS - Left Winger - 18 - Drafted 2018 #134 Overall
LAST UPDATED 1/17/19
As high OHL draft pick, (Saginaw selected him 4th overall) Jenkins somewhat failed to live up to expectations following his arrival in Saginaw after a disastrous season at the US National Team Development Program. In the OHL, Jenkins has not produced at a dominant rate, although he is at a PPG pace this year which is around the baseline for someone to have offensive viability in the NHL. His game is steadily improving and his play defensively is quite strong. He needs to get quicker on his skates and add an edge to his game, but if he can do that and continue to develop his offense he can be a reliable, do-it-all bottom-6 centerman in the NHL. For a fifth round pick, the odds are against him, but he has the potential to provide great value for the Isles if he can continue to improve.
