Rumors flew that Seth Jones, once considered one of the best young defensemen in the NHL, was going to test free agency at the end of next season. This would obviously be something of interest to the New Jersey Devils, who have been searching for a defenseman of Jones’ perceived caliber for years. He’s only 26 years old, so he’s right around that timeframe that Tom Fitzgerald has been looking for. Jones would give them a number-one defenseman.
