The 2020 13th overall pick is perhaps the most complete player from his class.

In just three seasons, Seth Jarvis has made himself an indispensable member of the Carolina Hurricanes.

The 2020 first-round pick is not only second on the team in both goals and points, but he’s also a key part of the Canes’ shutdown line with Jordan Staal and Jordan Martinook.

He’s grown by leaps and bounds to become a complete, impact player and the high-energy forward is on the ice in every situation and plays hard in all three zones.

“I’m having fun, which is nice,” Jarvis said about his development. “But I just want to play hard for everybody in here. I like when they’re happy and so if I have to block a shot or hit somebody, I’ll do it.

On top of being one of Carolina’s most impactful players, Jarvis is also setting the tone amongst his draft class as well.

Drafted 13th overall (and with the pick the Toronto Maple Leafs sent Carolina to buyout Patrick Marleau’s contract), Jarvis is currently tied for first in goals this season (21) among 2020 draftees with JJ Peterka and Jake Neighbours and his 51 points is third behind only Tim Stutzle and Lucas Raymond.

He’s doing all that, while playing on a line with Staal and Martinook.

Let that sink in for a moment.

Not All-Stars or high-end players or even offensively minded players. Two 30+ defensive stalwarts.

Jarvis does have his fair share of power play points to be fair — He’s tied for the team lead in power play scoring with eight goals playing the net-front/bumper position on PP1 — but the majority of his points have come at even strength with his most common linemates (by far) being two guys who are not offensive-type players and that’s the kind of depth scoring winners are built upon.

And while offense is obviously a key part of the game, the thing is, no one else in the draft class is doing it on both ends of the ice like Jarvis is.

Jarvis has a +11 even strength goal differential which is tied for fifth among his draft class and his in the top-20 in the entire league for CF% (58.5%) and HDCF% (60.13%).

Jarvis is also on PK1, which is very unusual for a player as young as he is. In fact, the Winnipeg native is the only forward with more than two minutes of shorthanded ice time per game among the 2020 class this season.

“He’s having a great year,” said Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour. “He’s making plays, but he’s doing it right. He’s certainly not afraid. He’ll get in there against the big guys and you need to have that to be successful. He’s been very consistent, very noticeable. No matter what role I’m putting him in, he seems to excel.”

Jarvis not only has the skill and talent to be successful, but also the drive and willingness required for someone to be great.

He’s not afraid to go into the corners with hulking defensemen or compete in front of the net for positioning and, more often than not, he wins those battles.

Jarvis is fearless and at just 22 years old and only in his third season in the league, he’s just beginning to scratch the surface at what he can become.
