    Spacek has the durability to play either wing or center which is perfect for the Jets since they are building through the draft in which they have seen some instant success, look at Patrik Laine for example. He's still a rather small guy at 5'11" and 190 pounds, but due to his tremendous speed and scoring ability that won't be much of an issue in the pro game. The Manitoba Moose are definitely going to be an exciting team to watch next season.
