Even if he is Jones is still the best FO guy on a team with terrible center depth and guys like Begin, Jackman, Comeau who are likely about the same if not worse than Jones available to be waived.
Add Arnott and your center depth is still Tanguay (out of position), Arnott, Stajan, Backlund (who is injured), Begin. It seems like they want to keep Cerevenka on the wing, Horak has been moved to the wing in the minors already and Begin is a C/W who shouldn't be playing at all.
Even when Backlund is healthy it seem like you could go with Tanguay, Backlund, Arnott and Jones for your centers. Edit: Forgot Stajan. So I guess you still could go Tanguay, Backlund, Stajan, Arnott with Jones as the extra guy but he seems to be a better fit for the 4th line than Arnott and maybe they can get rid of the Tanguay center experiment and put a real center there.
It seems like maybe there is a hope he gets claimed as the Flames want to have more roster flexibility.
