It may be dufus for dufus with Comeau and Jones, but to throw the natural center, on a roster devoid of that position, who has 18 shots, 1 assist in 11 games, under the bus, and at the same time promote to the first line, out of position, and sing the praises of a different player also with 1 assist in 11 games and 10 shots seems far fetched.
Nevermind one player makes twice as much $ as the other, the lack of distinct difference in tangible performance between the two flies in the face of the system of playing guys who deserve it, and IMO gives people the right to question what the management of this team is really thinking with their decision given all the talk going into the season.
Or, at least be honest. If Jones has a bad attitude off the ice or has disrepsected Hartley in the last days, say as much.
