Watching the Seth Jones videos on the other hand, he already looks like an NHLer. Not a ton of stickhandling-in-a-phone-booth type of skills, but clearly shows all the tools to be one hell of a rock on the blueline.
True, but isn't that like a lot of highly skilled CHL players who just flat out dominate their opponents? I'm not too worried about MacKinnon having problems, Drouin I'm a bit more concerned about.
