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.

Not really beacause Roman Josi has far exceeded expectations. He's about to become a 50+ point D-Man playing excellent hockey with physicality before he hits his prime. It's now much more difficult for Jones to surpass Josi.
