I can see that we might not re-sign him, but we really need someone of his caliber as a replacement..
Too bad Poirier doesn't seem to be progressing as we had hoped...he certainly doesn't look like he'll ever be a 1st liner (not giving up on him by any means, but he doesn't look like he projects to be a top liner anymore , if he ever did)

Jones may not be the guy but you don't need everyone on the top line to be an elite player. They just have to be a good fit. Sergio Momesso was just fine with Hull and Oates. Dustin Penner was an average at best player but fit well with Getzlaf and Perry.
