Zac Jones Raising His Stock With Early College Season Success

Adam Fox fell all the way to the Calgary Flames at 66th overall in the 2016 Draft despite his obvious talent. The Long Island native was a standout in the USHL during his draft season, but his lack of physical attributes drew the skepticism of amateur scouts. A few years later, Fox has made a vociferous statement early into his NHL career; the scouts had it wrong.

The Rangers are hoping for a similar fate with Zac Jones, whom the team similarly drafted in the third round of the 2019 draft. Granted, their situations are not identical.
