There is some over reacting going on, but I also think the guys calling out others for it don't seem to understand the issue.
It's not just about waiving Jones, it is understood that Jones played a minor part on this team and that he was easily expendable. To me, the problem is more about waiving Jones over guys he has completely out-played, like Jackman, Begin, and Comeau. Not only that, but this "meritocracy" then decides to promote Comeau, who has not been good, to the first line? It just defies logic.
This board has posters at both extremes. Some continuously and strongly defend the teams decisions over the years, including plenty of transactions that are now considered ridiculous. On opposite side, there are posters who seem to hate every move the team makes. These two types unfortunately do not mix well.
