The Flames get the type of player they were lacking and get a little closer to the cap floor. Cap hit for jones might be a little high but I rather pay more for a 28 year old player for three years than to a 33 year old player. It's not like the flames need that money for the next few seasons anyway.
People are saying that Jones was the Avs buyout candidate but if the flames were to buyout someone I'm sure that would be tanguay. I'm glad the last of the county club members are finally gone.

I don't think either fanbase should be super pissed over a deal like this, each side has a reason to be happy.
