We lead off with our 2018-19 player reviews for the Columbus Blue Jackets with No. 3, defenseman, Seth Jones.
Not only first because of numerical order, you can make the case, from an overall perspective, that Jones is the best Blue Jackets player on the team. How you rate a player in your own mind might depend on a couple of different factors, but no matter what those factors are, no one can deny the impact Jones makes on the Blue Jackets, and the 2018-19 season was no exception to that.
He’s only 24-years-old, and yet, the seven-year veteran is among the leaders for the Blue Jackets, wearing the “A”, killing it up and down the ice night in and night out, and bringing a particular calming influence and stability to the group.
