Carvel is a good development coach. So are Bazin, Sandelin, Leaman and Madigan. They get the most out of players without being handed the best recruits year after year

Is it just me or was this kind of a nondescript game for Jones? It wasn't poor but he didn't really stand out other than on the fourth goal.

I think that’s a compliment when you’re talking about a defenseman you know? Not that he didn’t stand out but he played solid, mistake free hockey and was an asset on the PP.

Eh it’s ok, he was a HUGE reason why they got there. Plus shutting out a team means the Defense gets huge props!

so he turns pro after this season, right? Or maybe even signs AHL deal for remainder of the season?

No need for him to hurry. Let him get more man strength and the Rangers see what they have in Lundkvist and Robertson.

I don't think it'll change his decision. Staying in college for one more year is about more than winning championships. Finishing a 3rd year in college makes it a lot easier to graduate while playing pro hockey, following night classes etc.
Fox spent 3 years in college and I'm sure it gives him the same advantage, although he may have had other reasons as well to stay in school. Khodorenko said the same thing to me in my interview with him. After his injury it put things into perspective and it made him finish school before signing a contract, despite getting offers after his junior year.
There are some interesting interviews on the Player's Tribune about graduating while playing pro hockey. If a player finishes 3 years in college, they can finish the rest attending night classes for 3 years. Turning pro after your sophomore year, you'd need 5-6 years to graduate.

I think that is a mistake. 70+ games in AHL would be a lot more productive for him.

I disagree wholeheartedly. Let him dominate next year. He’ll play all situations and be the go-to guy.
