A year ago, Senators fans were excited for two recently drafted defencemen who were heading together to North Dakota: Jacob Bernard-Docker and Jonathan (or Jonny?) Tychonick. The two were childhood friends, and had committed to play college together. One shot left, the other shot right. Jonny T was the skilled, offensive one, while JBD was the stay-at-home big one. The former is a joker in the spotlight, while the latter routinely gives one-word answers to questions.
Fast forward a year, and we may have found some separation between the two. Now, it would be silly to look at one year of college hockey as an 18-year-old and make a full pro hockey career judgment.
