The odds actually work very well in his favour. The point here is that it would be a mistake to draw comparisons between Jones and Josi at present and then conclude from these their potential.

He was also the
fourth defensman drafted. Seth Jones was a legitimate candidate to be the top pick in the best draft since 2003.

Who the hell cares? I already agreed that he is a good player. But he is no Seth Jones.

And Drew Doughty looked great at 20 and looks even better now. So what?
At the end of the day, I would take my chances with Jones being a better player in the long run than Reilly, than Josi, than Kessel, and most certainly better than L. Schenn and Myers.
