Jones apparently was very effective and sort of a fan favorite until his injuries. The last stretch he was in Colorado for, I believe most fans wanted him gone as he was very ineffective.
Upon arriving in Calgary, he played that hard-nosed style and was looking productive. Injury hit again, and he hasn't been the same player since.
Reminds me of Bourque. Both of them need to play a certain way to be successful - hardnosed players driving the net. Both these players get injured. Both these players try to change their game and stay healthy. Both these players become labeled as inconsistent.
Hopefully Jones can start playing hard and staying healthy. He is an effective player that way as we have seen. Just seems very hesitant to do so now with any consistency.
