Will be interesting to see how Jones responds.

Jones had the the highest quality of competition and the worst zone starts of any forward on the team. For however maligned Jones is as an offensive player, Hartley used him pretty faithfully as a top checker, something Ferland simply will not replicate.
There's no chance that Ferland and Jones are competing for the same spot. Ferland, Baertschi, Bennett, Granlund, Gaudreau, Reinhart, Bryon, Bolling, McGrattan, Wolf are all competing for the last 3 forward spots.
Jones is very safe in his position on the team.
