The top end forwards do seem a bit less risky than the top end defensemen in the draft.

When it comes to Jones I am concerned about how long he would want to play in a Northern Canadian city. I feel chances of retaining him when he is UFA is lower than a Canadian born player. There seems to be a preference for top American Born players to play for US teams. I know this long term stuff is just small part of the big picture but I feel you have to evaluate everything.
