Ok, tell me which four centres of this list you put him ahead of:
Stajan
Backlund
Horak
Monahan
Knight
Begin
Bouma
If Bouma is healthy, I put Jones ahead of none. Especially in context. If "heart" is your thing, Begin easily matches and also brings veteran leadership. Guys like Knight and Bouma have futures with this team and would benefit more from NHL minutes. Jones, frankly, does not have a place or a future in Calgary. He's going to go to Abbotsford, where he might get a recall if there are injuries, but will otherwise be claimed on waivers, traded or allowed to leave as a free agent after the season. He simply doesn't bring nearly enough to be part of a rebuild.
