Back on draft day in 2013, the Colorado Avalanche shocked the hockey world by skipping over defenseman Seth Jones, and electing to take forward Nathan MacKinnon instead. Colorado's blue line was lacking depth (it still is), and Jones learned to play hockey in Denver; the choice seemed like a no-brainer.
