Adam Jecho has power forward profile that teams covet at the NHL Draft
It's hard to miss Adam Jecho when he takes the ice. Playing in the WHL with a 6-foot-5 frame, the young Czech often towered over his opponents. Better still, he brought that size playing centre, often thought of as one of if not the premium position of the contemporary NHL.
