Here is an excellent piece on Seth Jones that goes beyond saying "his analytics are mediocre" and actually does a pretty good job examining why players who look elite (Jones specifically) don't always drive elite on-ice results. I think it's a pretty illuminating read. Short summary: Jones is really good at the things that tend to catch your eye but not so good at some of the less visible and undervalued but still highly important skills.

Wow! THIS SURELY IS AN EYE-OPENING PIECE ON WHERE WE REALLY NEED TO CONSIDER THE ANALYTICS WITH THE OLD EYE TEST!!!

Just bring on MoreHitz Seider!

In fairness, the guy they picked instead of Zadina was 3-3-6 against us in those same games (and has a 99-point lead in the career scoring race).

I do like what I've seen from Zadina. I don't think he's going to be a star but I am optimistic that he will round into being a very dependable two-way, top-six winger.

To be fair, Zadina was never rated to go before Svetchnikov. Dahlin and Svetch were the top 2 while most had Zadina at 3. The teams that actually passed on Zadina were Montreal (Kotkaniemi), Ottawa (Tkachuk) and Arizona (Hayton).

I svech has 117 games played more then zadina not including play off games. I know svech was rated to go higher and might be the better player but I’m still gonna keep tally lol.
