The Nashville Predators threw young Seth Jones directly into the fire in 2013-14 and the rookie had his ups and down throughout the season. 2014-15 saw Jones have his ups and downs again, but he had quite a few more ups than he did downs. The now 20-year-old put together a nice second-year campaign.
It will be an interesting 2015-16 for the blue liner as it will be a contract season. Jones will make $925k next season and following that he will be a restricted free agent. Mattias Ekholm, Filip Forsberg and Jones round out the RFA class that will be next year.
