I would not have taken Jones at #1 either so i am not sure why some posters think they are idiots for not wanting him. I actualy would also take Drouin over Jones. I think Jones is going to be a great d-man, but i dont think he is going to play a physical game.

I'm hoping this is just poor phrasing on your part but why is your opinion more valid than anyone else's on this board?
I think they're crazy not to take him considering their organizational dearth of defensemen both on the big club and in the system. Also of course his skill, size, hockey IQ, and pedigree.
Beside that, why announce this. Has anyone ever publically declared their intentions like this when it comes to a first overall. What is there to gain that couldn't be accomplished by serving up the same line privately in trade talks?
