2016 NHL Draft Profile: Max Jones

The Red Wings have made it obvious that they want to draft kids with size. Say whatever you want about that, I believe that drafting for size is typically a bad idea, but they've accrued some very promising talent with size over the past few years in players like Evgeny Svechnikov, and Anthony Mantha. The guy we're talking about today is right on that same tier.

Max Jones is a Michigan-developed player, who has a humongous frame, yet tons of skill. I do think that the Red Wings have had a thorough look at him, given where he comes from, and all of the other tangible attributes he possesses.
