The only issue with Jones is his expensive contract. But the flames dont have cap problems and won't have them for the foreseeable future, and aren't looking to trade him. So the fact that he has an expensive contract is kind of an irrelevant argument.

We'll have to see how he is next year.. I'm just not sold on him just yet. Probably because I was hoping for that 27 goal scorer. I was hoping he'd have some chemistry with Galiardi as well, I think they were both on Colorado at the same time? Not sure if they were on the same line though.
