So the Kraken are my second favorite team. Montour is a much different player. He’s smarter and smaller than Seth. He competes more too. Seth skates the puck better, Brandon is good at that too but passes better and makes things happen far more often.
I’m not comparing them as players. I’m comparing them as guys who can be good on the second pairing.
I agree that they are not that far off. I just think Montour is a better play maker offensively by a fair amount. He’s smarter with the puck by quite a bit and more consistent. Jones can at times be a more dynamic player but they are pretty similar overall. I think jones is the more physically gifted of the two, and I wish he had more edge in his game because jones would be tough to deal with if he did. Instead he is a true class act tbh, ant least as far as dirty play goes, and that’s honorable too, but maybe not as useful. Just a little more grit would help. Anyway, I think he gets too much criticism because he is pretty gifted and could be so much better with not much of a change.
This post is turrible. How many players came here and improved? He was supposed to be a second pair the rest of this year and now he’s been moved up to top pair while learning a completely different system. He was great the first few games, chill.Seth Jones doesn't know how to play D. He's rushing around the d zone like a headless chicken.
When his d pair is going to the corner this dumb f*** follows him.
And when there is a player in front of our goalie this f***er just moves away.
Thanks chicago and bill zito
One move ruined the panthers.
Montour took some time to shake off Buffalo and grow into the player he could be. I’ll be patient with Jones, he was solid until he had to move up, I’m sure he’s in his head a bit.

For Knight tonight, it wasn't a matter of adjusting, it was a matter of the team in front of him, particularly the forwards, puck watching all night long.
Agreed.
Florida still sees Bob as their starter and it came out today that they’re wanting to re-sign him after his current contract expires next year. Knight was due for a raise as well, we needed to shore up the 2nd pair. Jones had a good game tonight. Could be one of those win-wins.
Knight will almost certainly be the starter here.
