There's a lot to like about what Yzerman has done as GM but passing over Seth Jones was a major blunder. I'm not passing off Druin as a failure or anything and I think the Lightning are doing the right thing for his development by not handing him NHL ice time. That said Jones could be contributing on that roster in the playoffs and could be an anchor for a long time while Druin looks like he's going to be a solid one way scoring forward which is more of a nice to have than a major building block.
