The more I read about him the more I want to pick him.
He is now ranked #7 in the Sportsnet rankings.

I watched a lot of the Under 18s and Jost stood out in a good way. He's fast, tenacious, good shot and good passer as well as smart. For coming from a lesser league, he outshone most of the rest in that tournament as he was Captain of his team and lead the tourney in scoring. He looked like a finished player, meaning to me he could probably step right into the AHL with no problem. The problem I guess is how much improvement can he make? Maybe what he shows is all he's got but the scouts would have a much better handle on his upside than I do. He's also average sized and reminds me a bit of Langkow which wouldn't be bad at all.
I think he can slot into a 2nd or 3rd line role but I'd rather take more of a higher end player who can play top two defence or can play 1st line forward.
