Seth Jones isn't a top 20 defenseman

And that's okay, because they have Werenski, who is a top 20 defenseman

Yup, it will be interesting to see him play either way - hopefully he’ll do well so he can establish a future for him and his family financially tho

Agreed, I’m most excited for him. That Ozzy Wiesblatt guy is looking like a good prospect! You guys should definitely be excited for him!

Yeah I’m excited to see him develop as he seems like an NHL player who’s ceiling isn’t exactly determined but a good work ethic is gonna help and he’s got that.

I really wanna see how Evangelista goes (NSH) - i think he’s gonna be great

Jones a very talented player; no doubt about that. But his on-ice impact just doesn't reflect that of some of his peers, who I think you'd put ahead of him.

In fairness, we all know CBJ isn't great offensively, which I do think hurts Jones to a certain extent. But I wouldn't say it's enough to put him in my top 20

Obviously there’s a lot of subjectivity for lists and players. I think jones’ stats say he’s good. But the eye test does a lot. The two real ways we judge players right.

His stats aren’t mind blowing - but he’s also a more defensive player (on a defensive team as you said) and still puts up good points. Jones is a player where I say the eye test is when he shines. He’s just such a good player to watch in the sense that you always see good/ greatness (you could probably find a clip of a mistake but in the handful [10-20] games I see of Jones a year I can’t recall a single mistake - compared to my team where I may watch more games but I clearly remember mistakes my defenders make even a couple years ago). Jones is just fantastic as well as when you look at the jackets this past year - they dealt with a ton of injuries and lost man games. But they faired well all year - except when they lose Jones (which also could be categorized as a “stat). When they lost Jones, if I recall the lines in the article I saw them in, they didn’t do well at all.

Wheeler is a ****ty leader/captain and is the reason for the Jets drama the last few years.

Yup, the narrative around him is the opposite but the coach's constant catering to him causes a rift in the room.

- Leafs aren't built for long term success.
- Coyotes will move to another stadium in Scottsdale or Phoenix by 2022.
- NHL is the best sports league and most entertaining being a fan compared to the rest.
