No. Bottom 6 guy. Straight line player with size and enough skill to be an NHLer but not a top 6 guy.

How crazy would I sound if I though of a Jones Lundeström Terry 3rd line?

Sounds more like a 2nd line to be honest, but I'd love to see Isaac's points blossom with some offensive talent around him. He, Terry, and Jones are sort of class mates in the Ducks org.

Zegras-McTavish-Bedard
Jones-Lundestrom-Terry
Vatrano-Heneique-Strome
McGinn-BOG-Silf

Sounds like zemgus girgensons, another former 1st.

I mean that as a compliment

Is zegras not playing center?

I feel that needs to be tried at some point. All are defensively responsible and can contribute. Zegras and McTavish up the gut on your top six, and the you hope that’s couple of pastujov, Colangelo, Perrault, Tracy, etc hit. Drafting a high end winger on this draft wouldn’t hurt if you dont get bedard.

A hypothetical top 9 for 23/24:

Vatrano Zegras Strome
Comtois McTavish Bedard
Jones Lundeström Terry

Our genius HC likes to have him and Stome rotate between center and wing

It gets juicy in the d zone because sometimes you can tell one thinks they’re either a center or wing on the shift and then someone will be free for a scoring chance

Love Dallas Eakins 🫠

I feel like Jones is destined for a bottom 6 role, not sure I would want him playing higher in the line up. With that said, he has shown some glimpses this year and I wonder how he will fare in a non-Eakins system. I still think he can be a very important contributor for a team that one day hopes to make deep playoff runs, so I hope we hang on to him for a bit longer at least. That Jones-Lundy-Terry idea though would be fun to see play out
