“I want to be there with the big team.”
Although Christian Jaros was amongst the names in the Ottawa Senators’ first round of training camp cuts, he was not discouraged. The 21-year-old defenceman turned a lot of heads, as his two-way style with moments of flashiness made him one of the better players on the ice.
Picked in the 5th round in 2015, Jaros’ ascension up the Sens’ prospect depth chart has been steady. In Silver Seven’s annual Top 25 Under 25 series, Jaros went unranked in his draft year, rose to 16th in 2016 and most recently ranked 12th.
