I'd rather have mac, drouin and barkov. Jones is 4 for me

I'll be completely honest with you and say that if our forward corps of the future looked something along the lines of:
Ennis - Hodgeson - Armia
Larrson - Grigorenko - Armia
Ott - Mackinnon - Foligno
Flynn - Girgensons - Adam
I wouldn't complain too badly.

What about the Minny, if they somehow miss playoffs. Protected?
The hype is likely mostly because he's almost NHL ready, which is rare for a defenseman, although he's a late 94 birth.Sure I could because I believe that. I just don't see what everyone is gushing about in regards to Jones. Like I said before and jfb has said on multiple occasions, I see Jones as a Myers clone; you don't take that player at #1, you're thrilled to get him later like we did with Myers. He's not a certainty like people make him out to be in my opinion.

I have a feeling we'll see more defenseman being ready earlier though, so it won't be that unique.
In fact, we already are to some degree due to kids being on sharper development curves (training at earlier ages, increases in quality of coaching, etc.).
He was always the same way with the NTDP.I've seen seth a few times this year. And as jfb said some games you dont even really notice him but then there are games when you watch him play and are like theres no chance anyone should go ahead of him. The inconsistency worries me a lil bit. If we have no.1 i want mac.
Nope, it's the Sabres' pick no matter what.
Well, we're talking about junior and tournaments, not the NHL.Since when is a D-man going unnoticed in a game considered a bad thing? I was under the impression that it was an indicator that he's doing his job. Or are we expecting Erik Karlsson type levels of 'puck dominance' out of Jones?
Someone please elaborate.
