This is my concern with Jones (from Commandant's post)
Quote:

He does use his size to lean on forwards and to win board battles, but he’s not a huge hitter, and doesn’t appear to have a real mean streak. There have been comparisons to Chris Pronger, but we don’t like those comparisons due to this lack of a real mean streak.

I am not sure a player learns that "mean streak".
Shea Weber had it, Phaneuf had it, Pronger had it, guys like Erik Johnson never had it, Bouwmeester never had it.
Without the mean streak that is all the Jones is, another Johnson or Bouwmeester.
