Jett Jones is set for takeoff
Now, Jett Jones won't score as much as Bear Hughes does in a single season. That's especially true with him scoring four goals and seven assists in 67 combined games last season (he played for the Savannah Ghost Pirates and Henderson Silver Knights). However, the forward serves a vital purpose within the Vegas Golden Knights organization.
The co-captain for the Lethbridge Hurricanes can shrug off opposing defenders with the puck. He uses his body to maintain possession and control the play, similar to what Hughes does. Having a large frame will make this easy, especially since he's 6'3" and 215 lbs. Watch how he scores this goal against the Calgary Hitmen in WHL competition.
He uses the boards to his advantage and skates quickly to avoid the check, creating enough separation to score the goal. His skating stride might not be the most efficient. However, it gets the job done and can develop in the minor leagues. That's good news for a Golden Knights team looking for younger talent to take over their farm system, with the Rookie Faceoff being the first step.
