The Blue Jackets are a very young team with the average age of 24.83. The Blue Jackets two main defenders are the youngest on the roster.. Seth Jones is arguably the Blue Jacket’s most important defense-man and he is the youngest.
Once Jones arrived in Columbus, his role changed immensely from what it was in Nashville. He was expected to play top pair minutes unlike in Nashville were his role was much smaller. Jones has flourished with the Blue Jackets playing large minutes. Jones is young and quite, but he leads by example.
Along with Jones, Columbus has Ryan Murray who is only 22 years old, but has shown flashes of being a top pair defense-man along with Jones.
