Let’s just get this out of the way first - Seth Jones should have been a Norris Finalist this seaosn.
Seth Jones played 78 games for the Columbus Blue Jackets, only missing games late in the year when he was cross checked after ending a game against the Colorado Avalanche in overtime with the game winning goal and injuring his ribs. He never practiced again during the season. He logged monster minutes this year - 24:36 per night, the most in his career - while playing a mainstay role on defense and being one of only two Blue Jackets (along with Artemi Panarin) to cross the 50 point mark on the season.
