Not sure why people are adding Hedman to a list like that. He's looking very good and long-term is likely just as good as he was projected to be.
I'm like Tinordi - I think Jones is something truly special - and therefore can't be compared to past drafts.
You win cups with guys like Pronger and Lindstrom. They can carry teams. I see Jones having the potential to be one of the best dmen of this era.
