Patrik Laine's first taste of NHL competition will have to wait.

The second overall pick in Friday's draft won't take part in on-ice activities at the Winnipeg Jets' development camp, the club announced Tuesday.

Laine hasn't been given clearance to play after having surgery on his knee following an injury at the NHL Combine in early June. The minor procedure was performed after the event concluded, according to the club.

The 18-year-old was named best forward and the media's MVP at the World Championship last month after helping Finland claim the silver medal, and he led Finland to the gold medal at the World Junior Championship in January.

The Jets' development camp runs July 3-7 in Winnipeg.
