Maybe it's been just a bad run for a few years now but Seth Jones looks a lot like a bigger Barrie. Skates well, moves the puck well, can run a PP, can score some points but suspect defensively. That play on Yamo's short handed goal. WOW. If Barrie did that, people in Edmonton would be lighting torches and shining up their pitch forks. 9.5 mill hey.

57% offensive zone starts for Seth. 47% Corsi and 46% high danger chances. All the offensive opportunity the coaches can give him, but defensive slacking cancelling out the good.
I think he is pretty much what people figured when he was traded/signed. I think a bigger Barrie is a pretty good comparable. But for more than double the price starting next year.

I thought Jones and OEL were good bets on bounce back candidates, despite the analytics not liking them. They look to be right once again though. It’s not often that you see Norris level defenseman wash up before 30, I thought for sure it was external factors.
Hope they both make their Olympic teams.
Clean house or bust
