From all accounts, it seems Jake is destined to be a 3rd line grinder. Apparently some reports show that he lacks the work ethic that Bo has, which is disappointing since JB said he would only draft "character guys"
If anything, his performance in the WJC showed what he is. First year in WJC, he starts on McDavids line, but has no IQ and by the time the tourney ends, he is on the 4th line. Second WJC is his chance to shine and instead he takes some immature and stupid penalties and gets blasted on the front page in Canada and that team lost due to some petulant players (him and Strome).
He seems to be immature, lacking in ability to read the play, and most importantly has the work ethic of an entitled punk.
I remember Kesler struggling badly during his first 3 years, but he always had an incredible work ethic and the drive needed to improve.
This kid has none of those "intangibles"
