Of course Nashville can legitimately claim they were surprised to get Jones but most teams are probably deluding themselves and their fans.

When you look at prospects like Monahan, Gauthier and Horvat all being relatively low, it's probably more to do with the Flyers valuing other prospects, primarily defensemen more unless they were too good to ignore like Barkov.
