Now he's on a steal of a contract because of cap inflation.
More importantly he is hitting his upside. It's not like it was guaranteed in 2016 that Seth Jones was going to be a great defenseman. We all knew he had the raw tools for it, and many of us thought he would put it all together, but there was uncertainty like with any player when you are waiting for improvement. The combined cap inflation over the last three years is about 10%. Seth Jones is underpaid by a lot more than 10%.
Jones signed his five year deal when he was with the CBJ.
Yes, after 3 months of good but not great play with the Jackets.
