Let’s Take a Few Minutes to Appreciate Seth Jones

The arrival of Seth Jones midway through the 2015-16 season helped transform the Columbus Blue Jackets’ blue line and pushed the club to “playoff team” status. One of SBNation’s Best 25 Under 25 (he checked in at No. 18, and he doesn’t turn 23 until October), Jones and Zach Werenski will anchor the CBJ defense for the next half-decade, at least. At 6’ 4”, 220 pounds, he’s huge. He’s fast. He scored 12 goals and 30 assists in his first full season in Columbus, both career highs. He made the All-Star Game.
