We have people freaking out over a bloody fourth liner (yet again). I like Jones and find this curious, but the fact remains, he is a fourth liner and his contributions are decidedly limited. He only takes six faceoffs a game, and his percentage is no better than what we've gotten from Cervenka, Horak and Street (albeit in limited opportunities). He plays eight minutes a night, and does not play special teams at all. This is simply not a move worth getting upset about.

Comeau actually gives the team more value simply by playing the penalty kill. Even if he has this really annoying get-into-great-scoring-position-but-flub-every-shot habit.

Jackman offers toughness, on the occasions we need it.
I don't know, you'd have to ask them yourself. But yes, overreactions come easily around here.
