I'm not overly enthusiastic, but I think this does address one need: we've swapped a small, skilled LW (of which we had far too many) for a RW. Jones is an ideal 3rd line RW & I'm sure he could produce on a secondary scoring line.

Put him on a line with Backs and Baertschi & suddenly I think our offence improves significantly. A big, hard-forechecking RW shoud be able to make more space for our young creative guys so they can fully express themselves.

SOB seems like a character and racks up PIMs. Younger grade on Sarich.

I think our team has gotten marginally better. No homerun by any means, but a slight improvement is better than a lateral step.
