I think D. Jones could be an overpaid but valuable member of the Flames if they put him on a grind line with, e.g., Bouma and Colborne, and gave the line orders to not worry about scoring, but to just go out, get the puck in deep, and create havoc. He's got decent speed, is solid on his skates, and is fairly gritty (he is currently leading the Flames in hits).
Unfortunately, he's continually put on a scoring line and the powerplay with the expectation to create offense, and, as you said, he's just not having success.
