“His ability to work in tight spaces seems as good a place as any. Jarvis is one of the best attackers in the draft with a defender on his back; he seeks out pressure with gear-changes or stops-and-starts, then creatively pulls away with an arsenal of moves. As a gifted passer and shooter, he’s the type of player who wants the puck on his stick.” – EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide

“Jarvis had a fantastic season, as the WHL’s second-leading scorer and a major part of why Portland was such a dominant team. Jarvis is a dynamic player who ticks a lot of boxes. He is a highly skilled and intelligent with a lot of quickness. He has the skill to beat defenders 1-on-1, but more importantly, he does so with speed. The high-end pace of his game is what makes him so dangerous and will translate to the higher levels. He has legit NHL speed and very good edges, allowing him to pressure defenders at the highest level with speed and cutbacks. I wouldn’t call his hands elite or call him an elite passer, but he has flashes of the highest level with both and both attributes are very good. Jarvis isn’t the biggest forward, but he is a very hard working player. He attacks the middle of the ice consistently, he’s hard on pucks and wins far more battles than you’d think a 5-foot-10 forward would. His game is very direct and he will be both a coach and fan-favorite due to the way he plays the game. His combination of skill, speed, production and work ethic make him a player that projects to play high in an NHL lineup.” – Corey Pronman, The Athletic’s 2020 Draft Board
