I've been mulling it over, and I have a couple conclusions on the Jones move.
1. We put him on waivers with the intention that he be claimed because we want to shed an extra contract for an upcoming move.
or
2. Jones has burned some bridges with the organization, and is being given his walking papers.
I can't see this move as being based on "meritocracy" Jones hasn't exactly set the world on fire, but he plays a good north south game and is able to provide 5-10 minutes of relatively acceptable ice time each game.
Yes Comeau should be waived, but sometimes there is more to moves. If it comes down to conclusion #1, I think that Jones has a higher probability of being claimed than Comeau.
