Seattle added another defender to the mix at pick 100 with the selection of Tyson Jugnauth. Aside from having a phenomenal name (in a deep names draft, let’s be honest) Jugnauth is also the best defender coming out of the BCHL this year.
Jugnauth is another offensive-minded defender, much like the Kraken’s earlier blue line pick Ty Nelson. Seattle is clearly pushing to add as much offense as they can with their bundle of draft capital this year. Talking with the BCHL, Jugnauth described what he himself feels he brings to the table with his playing style:
Jugnauth is committed to play at the University of Wisconsin next season, and he’ll likely play a couple years over there to develop before we get a look at him in Seattle or Coachella Valley.
