Strengths: Has good size and strength, has a tremendous work ethic, skates well, has a hard accurate shot, plays a complete game and has excellent leadership qualities.
Weaknesses: Isn’t the best scorer, will have to get faster to make an impact at pro the level and polish is offensive game.
Scouts thoughts: There’s no doubt Jenner will be a captain at the next level. He has all the qualities a good leader needs. His work ethic is second to none and makes him extremely hard to play against. The born and raised farm boy wins lots of battles down low and along boards and works at his shot, stickhandling and skating all summer, so there are no questions about his ability to improve his game.
Where he’d fit well: Jenner’s leadership skills make him an attractive prospect and draw many comparisons to players like Mike Richards and Jonathan Toews. His offence isn’t quite at their level though when they were drafted which makes it unlikely he will go as high as them. Montreal will take a very serious look at the big center. His size, skill and team first attitude are a big need in La Belle Province. Buffalo is another northeastern team that will take a close look at the Dorchester native to boost it’s middle of the ice. Ottawa has shown little interest, but Anaheim and the Penguins wouldn’t pass him up if he’s still around when take the podium.
