I think Lowry should have been the pick but he wasn't close to being that much better that he was "screwed". Other teams have had good seasons as well.

Jones can have all the numbers he wants Holtby played better in my view.

And you can ignore the fact that the team that Jones played for not helping but it played a big role in his play this season.

Still being a very close second is nothing to sneeze at and certainly nowhere close to being screwed.
Thats the point, there were two options and they picked the lesser one, thus the better guy got screwed

Its like playing the game 7 of Stanley Cup Finals, both teams playing great, but the ref blows an obvious call in favor of team A and than team A wins. Does this not mean team B got Screwed? lol

As far as Jones, compare his numbers to his backups (Jones' basically 1 year older and this was his first season as the number 1 guy) and you will see it wasn't all because of playing on a great team.
