And I don't see why we can't consider Jones or Street prospects. Remember Street was "coincidentally" here for the duration of our 3-0-2 start, even playing on the top line. He's still reasonably young.
Obviously our coaching staff has some beef with Jones and it doesn't appear that he'll stick here, althoguh I think he's warranted another look on the big club (and almost certainly would be better than Jman or McG), but I see Jones as an asset we can move. If he's producing at a 1.5 PPG clip in the A for another handful of games, maybe he can fetch us a younger kid with some talent that could potentially be part of the big club later on. Even if you don't view these guys as prospects, the better they do, the more they drive up their value and that makes them assets we can move. Helping to surround the rookies in a winning environment honestly can't hurt, either... Also I like Blair and would want to see him get a chance elsewhere to crack the big league if it's not gonna be with us.
