If you don't see Jones as a franchise defenseman that's fine, but I have seen numerous scouting reports that would suggest otherwise.

I remember seeing scouts say that the two Johnsons were both going to be franchise defensemen and they both became nothing remotely close to that. Scouts tend to build up players they like and say every player has huge potential while not looking at the massive holes in their games. Jones is not physical and that is going to be his down fall. We'll see if his offensive talents translate and whether he can intimidate the best men in the game rather than a bunch of 15-19 year old boys. It's a huge step up to the NHL and I believe these scouts too over-rate players they have scouted closely.
