Seth Jones is a good hockey player. The problem is that he's never judged in a vacuum.
is a good hockey player. Seems like a strange thing to have to write about a four-time All-Star, the No. 4 pick in the 2013 NHL Draft, who has twice finished in the top 10 in the Norris Trophy voting. But when it comes to Jones — one of the most polarizing figures in the league — an occasional reminder doesn’t hurt. He’s big and rangy, mobile and smart. He has a big shot that peaked at 96.2 mph last season. He averaged four and a half more minutes per game than any other player.
His expected goals share at five-on-five jumped from 42.63 percent to 49.32, best among Blackhawks regulars by far. Those might not be Makar-type numbers, but Makar had just a tiny bit more to work with on a star-studded team. What changed? “Honestly, I don’t know,” Jones said with a chuckle. “Sometimes it just goes that way. I was just playing. I was getting some pucks up in the rush coming late, and some were going in that maybe weren’t going in during the first half.
