I like that we have Jones on that line, I think having some size on the same line as Johnny is good and he can skate. We don't have a lot of big guys in the top 6, so I think this is a good way to add that size and grit.

I think that Raymond deserves benching again this game coming up. He has struggled and has been given chances to get back in and change his game, I don't think that has happened really. I definitely would have Byron and Jones in before him right now. Maybe not at the start of the season, but now, yes.

Does this continue? Raymond will get back in once others start to struggle, which is inevitable IMO unless he is shipped out before the deadline. I wouldn't hate that, for a pick, any pick, why not. Bring up a youngster, I don't think any of them could do worse. Hell, give a few of the prospects 3 or 4 games at a time and send them back down as a rotation to get them some games with the Flames.
