At 6-4, Johnathan Kovacevic rarely has to look up when meeting another player face to face. But that hasn’t been the case this week at Winnipeg Jets development camp, where the 20-year-old defenceman is among a number of towering young prospects on the blue line

“It’s obviously no secret that Winnipeg really likes their big D. So coming in I’m not used to being an average-sized guy, but on the back end there’s definitely a lot of tall guys,” Kovacevic said Thursday.
