This draft indeed looks deep, but take a look at past drafts and you will find top talent from every year that never panned out. It happens in the top three also but rarely do these not make it to the NHL and more often than not they become impact players. If Jones develops into a top flight defenseman as expected it will be pretty difficult to explain why Colorado traded that pick. Nurse for example is a defensive defenseman from what I understand, he is not a two way franchise defenseman like Jones potentially is and every Red Wing fan should know how important those are.
Three top ten picks is still not the same as a first overall pick, especially when a premier defenseman like Jones is available. Colorado is missing a no 1 defenseman badly and Calgary even more so.
Not superhappy to see Miller coming back. I think he is a bit overrated, he tends to be out of positionin his own end and the team played very well without him during the end of the regular season. I would rather see a more physical presence in his spot.
