Either one for me thanks! But I give the edge to Jones because the idea of Travis and Seth owning other clubs from the blueline makes me pretty happy.
Think about what we would have:
Hamonic: 6' 1", 206 lbs, good in all situations. Physical leader.
Reinhart: 6' 4", 207 lbs, Shut down defenseman. Physical leader.
Jones, 6'3", 201 lbs, does everything better than most. Physical leader, PP QB, shut down defenseman, puck mover...
I used to watch Al MacInnis and Chris Pronger shut teams down all on their own. At times it wasn't even fair, like throwing flys at a glue trap unfair. They'd own the PP, the PK, 5 on 5 in your zone and theirs... It was a scary display of defensive prowess. Those three guys on the blueline if they hit even 70% of their full potential... Screw the offense, we would own games from the blue line.
The 70's Dynasty Habs did that as well with Savard, LaPointe and Robinson. They were known as The Big Three. If only...
