Being further along in the development was the most influencing factor to me choosing Barron over Jones on what are two outstanding college careers (to date). 3 years >> 1 year
this is a tough one...I was pretty much a toss up between gauthier, barron and jones. I picked Barron in the initial vote so should probably stick with that but I REALLY like Jones and want to vote for him too lol
Barron. More upside with Jones, I feel, but Barron has a better track record and is a pretty safe bet for an NHL career. Jones has a lot of talent, but if his game doesn't easily translate then I could see him flaming out entirely. He's more boom-bust.

Don’t understand this boards obsession with Barron
Big Jones AINEC
2 years younger and put up way better numbers in the NCAA at the same age... as a dman

Gotta go with the higher upside which is Zac Jones over the safer player which is Morgan.
Morgan will likely be a 4th liner, that maybe can step into the 3rd line. Jones has top 4 potential.

This is a battle of reward vs. readiness.
In the end, I went with the potential reward of upside and picked Jones here - 23 points and .71 ppg as a freshman on defense is nothing to sneeze at.
But there really isn't a wrong choice here.

Change is good.
I LOVE Jones as a prospect and if he had done this for two seasons I probably would've been voting for him in the top 5. Heck, even a partial season (if/when he plays again) would probably leapfrog him a couple of spots for me. But given Barron's steady progression at this point, I'm going with him by a hair.
(Needless to say, given this stance, I won't be terribly upset whichever way this turns out. So, @Harbour Dog, if it remains tied after the tiebreaker has run its course, feel free to switch my vote over to the Jones column in order to move on.)

Jones for upside. Barron probably is on the roster opening night this season. This is a toss up and the votes look that was too.

Same here. if Jones had a chance to backed up his freshman performance with another year I'd be betting on his upside.

Point production in the NCAA can be deceptive. Certain styles of game that produce in the NCAA don't in the NHL and vice versa. Look at Brendan Smith vs Ryan McDonagh's offensive production at Wisconsin.

No one expected Boo Nieves to come in and blow the doors off after his NCAA career.
