MacKinnon unless there is an extremely compelling reason to take Jones (ex - MacKinnon hints that he'd never sign here)

I love Seth Jones. I'm a Winterhawks fan, the Flames need defense, and he's probably one of the best D prospects in ages. He'd be an amazing asset to the team and could probably even aid the team in a meaningful way in 1 or 2 years.

However, the stock of a forward is well known, much more so than a defender or a goaltender. At the top spot, there's a great deal of risk if Jones doesn't develop into a #1 defense, especially around more known prospects like MacKinnon or Barkov.
