Some compare his game to that of Mitch Marner, who was picked fourth overall by Toronto in 2015. Jarvis said he models his game after Brayden Point, who recorded 33 points (14g, 19a) in 23 playoff games, helping the Tampa Bay Lightning capture the Stanley Cup.
"I take a lot of parts of my game from his," Jarvis said. "He's a smaller-body player who can really make a big impact on a team and a game."
The Canes believe Jarvis possesses the same game-breaking abilities and can carry a line.
"Seth's a leader," Yorke said. "Playing with some younger players on his line, he was able to help them transition to the WHL with him going through the draft process at the same time."
"He's very, very skilled. He makes players around him better," Waddell said. "You want someone who can drive a line. He can do that."
What else can Jarvis bring to the organization?
"Commitment and energy," he said. "Just bringing good positive energy and being committed. Those are two things Canes fans can expect from me."
That will tickle Brind'Amour's ears.
Jarvis, a native of Winnipeg, said something else that will endear him to the area.
"I'm a big fan of college basketball," he said. But, be warned: He's a Duke fan, following after a number of people in his family who are, as well.
And the Storm Surge?
"I've seen a few good ones," Jarvis said, noting his favorite was the one that featured Evander Holyfield. "Those look like a lot of fun and something I'd definitely be into."
A Storm Surge is down the road a bit, but for now, Jarvis gets to enjoy the moment with his parents, brother, grandparents and uncle, all "big parts of my life, so they're all deservingly here," he said. "Here" not being Montreal in June, as originally expected, but home in Winnipeg in October. The celebratory moment in which he heard his name called was captured on a fuzzy video feed, but his future is clear.
"We're thrilled to welcome Seth to our organization," Yorke said. "I think the fans are going to be excited to watch him play."
