Who is the best defenseman right now of this group?

[alexgreeen]

Jones
Klingberg
OEL
Provorov
Werenski

 

[Johno]

Is Klingberg really more of a catalyst though? I think you have to consider the fact Dallas has a stacked top line with 70-80 point players and 30-40 goal scorers where aside from Panarin, Jones has nothing like that to work with. Next year if Columbus' top line continues to grow and finish better Jones assist totals will get a big boost. For reference Jones was the 2nd highest point total in Columbus, 9 points clear of 3rd

Yes. Last season he played in Hitchcock's super defensive system and put up 67 points. While taking huge steps ahead as a defensive players as well.
