His yearly production seems to support that theory.

Early in this contract, Jones was fighting knee problems. Even for us he's been pretty injury prone. Also, his 27 goal season, he played a lot with Stastny (scored 6 goals while on that line), and Duchene (scored 9 goals while on that line). That's a sure step up from the playmakers he's played with for Hartley. Add in 2:23 power play time and it's a recipe for putting up goals. He's got a great shot in the slot IMO, just needs linemates setting him up.
