If nothing else, Jones should at least get plenty of opportunity to find that offense again here.

Sounds like how Blake Comeau was going to find his NYI form of 27 goals.
We all know how that worked out.
The biggest problem I have with this trade is getting two guys who are rumored to be bad apples in the dressing room. That is the LAST thing we need going forward with all of these young guys that will be on the team.
Shane O'Brien is a joke. The guy has always taken the stupidest penalties at the worst times throughout his career. He is an idiot on and off the ice. Wait till we see he is paired up with Chris Butler. Ugh.
Hopefully Jones, horrified by his 3 goals last year has something to prove. He was bad. 4 million a year till 2016? To the people that are saying "Meh, we have cap room to burn, it's ok" It is not ok. Say Horak, Backlund and Knight all out score him next season. Think they'll be happy signing deals for less than he makes? Just throws the salary structure of the team out of wack. Not to mention if he is a bust we have that contract on the books for 3 years.
I remember watching a Flames/Avs game and my buddy turned to me and said, can you believe Jones makes 4 M a year? That makes Matt Stajan look like a steal. Sadly I agreed with him. Now he is a Flame.
Sometimes I honestly wonder if Feaster watches hockey.
