In 2019 all eyes were on Kaapo Kakko as the 2nd overall pick in the draft, but not many fans would have thought that in two short years Zac Jones, drafted 68th overall in the 3rd round, would be close to making his NHL debut.
Jones has been described as a gifted offensive defenseman with improving defensive skills in his last couple seasons at UMass. Zac Jones is just one of the many gifted prospects the Rangers have in their pipeline and signs point to him making his NHL debut soon. This could happen tonight with Jacob Trouba already ruled out.
