It wasn't long after the Carolina Hurricanes drafted Seth Jarvis with the 13th overall pick that he got the call from general manager Don Waddell and head coach Rod Brind'Amour welcoming him to the team. "I'm super excited. Thank you guys so much," Jarvis exclaimed, before Brind'Amour stepped back to reveal the shiny new "Jarvis" nameplate that hung above a locker in the Hurricanes' dressing room. Then, Brind'Amour turned back and said: "We got you a spot, but you've got to go earn it, right?"

NHL Entry Draft

With the 13th Pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, the Carolina Hurricanes Have Selected Seth Jarvis From the Portland Winterhawks of the WHL About Seth Jarvis Jarvis is the kind of offensive catalyst that simply demands the puck, and for good reason. A creative passer and shooter with excellent agility, he is able to beat defenders in multiple ways.

He isn’t afraid to take the puck hard to the net and has the utmost confidence in his ability to win puck battles. Jarvis has everything you look for in a dominant two-way player. He’s a smart, skilled forward with excellent hands. His vision and puck control is elite, and his ability to deliver the puck cleanly onto the tape and execute on the rush is among the very best in this draft. Seth Jarvis of the Portland Winterhawks....

In today's NHL rumor rundown, the Carolina Hurricanes have made a lucrative offer to Andrei Svechnikov and he's said no. What's next for the player and the team? In Chicago, are the Blackhawks potentially looking at Matt Murray? What is Taylor Hall willing to entertain as far as offers go and finally, did Robin Lehner's new deal with the Golden Knights create a domino effect that will travel through the rest of the trade market and free agency as far as netminders are concerned?

Just to grasp a taste of what it's like to perform at the highest level would be rewarding enough for so many who have dreamed of playing in the NHL.
