Over the past 10 years, which D men in the draft were actually impact D men in the first 3 years in the NHL without AHL seasoning?

Not exactly what I was asking. Larsson came in for the Devils and played on the 3rd pair. Just curious who looks capable of doing something similar.

Most if not all should go back to juniors/college/Europe no matter how high they are selected

Jones will probably be in the NHL but this is just me I think he could use his final year in juniors to continue to work on his game while adding weight/muscle.

Some will also probably get a look to be in the NHL but he might be the only one to stick around.

How many Junior Seasons has Jones played?

This is his first, prior to that was time with the US National Team. Sometimes is hard to know if he's just having such an easy time during a game or if he's at times struggling.

Overall he's looked good when I've watched him.

For example I am watching Sault Ste Marie tonight and Nurse hasn't looked great but also hasn't looked bad........no points & 2 penalties.

Good overall for the year but from my eyes he needs to round out his game, add weight/muscle, & maybe work on his skating

Well that would depend on who is on the board, maybe somebody slips that many don't think will and it changes who you take.

He didn't land here, thus a reason for trolls to take more potshots at the Flyers.
- Flyskippy

there are 28 other teams he didn't sign with what's the big deal
