I get it cases like maybe ay Evander Kane where there are behavioural issues. As fans we pay our hard earned money which in the end pays these guys, so if we seem them as pissing it away and not putting up the effort, I get the frustration and subsequent feeling of vindication when it finally catches up with them.
But with someone like Jones, while the results weren't consistently what we'd hope, as far as I can tell he always put forth an earnest effort and tried to help the club. Don't get me wrong, glad we aren't overpaying him anymore, but what's with the don't let the door hit you in butt attitude some have?

I sincerely hope he enjoys playing in Switzerland. Having made $16+ million over my career, I would much rather play in the Swiss league for 300K than desperately try to hang onto the NHL.
But I say that as someone with no passion, ambition or skills.
