Ben Shelley: Seth Jarvis exceeding expectations with Hurricanes

Thought (or maybe should say, hoped) he was going to be a Panther, because I never expected Lundell to still be there at #12. Both teams walked away from that draft with big grins on their faces.
Looking forward to seeing him play in Saturday’s game.

After watching him play several times this season I would guess his trajectory to be similar to Necas with a slightly higher upside potential.

Still cautiously optimistic on Jarvis. Hopefully he continues to fill out and put on some muscle. He has good tools but I don't see the Necas comparison at all. Necas has developed into a game breaker, and not sure if Seth will become that dynamic. Time will tell.

First season Necas had 36 points in 64 games. Jarvis currently has 14 points in 22 games. Jarvis is better defensively than Necas was at this stage. I personally feel that he will develop at the same pace that Necas has and may be a better player in the end.

That is not meant as a knock on Necas. I love how he has developed into a solid top six forward. I just like what I have seen from Jarvis so far.
