I was thinking the same thing. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence. And yes Comeau, you are that bad of a player.

Shades of Clarke Wilm and Jeff Shantz. The more things change the more they stay the same.

For the price, Jones worked just fine. Im surprised and expect he will find a new home fairly quickly.

I also think that it means the writing is on the wall for some others.

Really who of consequence? It's not like top players like the Giordano's, Comeau's or Iginla's of the team are going to be taken to task for their poor play.

Jones was nothing special. Whole 4th line blows.

At least Comeau is aware that everyone thinks he sucks.

A natural left wing, Comeau is expected to move the middle.

“I’m excited for the challenge,” he said. “I don’t think I’m that bad of a player where I think it’s outrageous that I’m playing centre with Jarome and Glennie. I didn’t think of it as a joke at all.”

Hahahaha.

Honestly, WTF is going on Feaster? Waive Jones so Comeau can get some prime icetime? This move absolutely makes zero sense to me. What game are the management watching?

I'm seriously stunned by this one.

Its not the craziest thing I've seen the Flames do.

Remember this one?

I've tried to defend Comeau in the past but I'm convinced he'll never score again. I was a big fan of Jones too...

The Mayans were off by a few weeks ..... Comeau centring Iginla and Glencross is the sign the apocalypse is coming. It has been nice knowing all of you.

no idea why Jones instead of Comeau....something odd...but based on points production you could waive both and I wouldn't blink.

Why is that?

Jones is a cheap young-ish guy that is filling in and not holding anyone down on the farm.

Jones is the type of guy you keep around as filler during a rebuild.

Yup, we get this kind of reaction over the waiving of Blair Jones. Imagine the post-apocalyptic nightmare this place will become if the Flames ever did give people their much asked for "blow up".

I appreciate that Jones has size, works hard and wins faceoffs, but he's not that good of a player. Has it dawned on anybody the coaches may not like his positional play or something like that?
The fact is, it's a fourth liner and this team's struggles aren't because of those guys, who are interchangeable all the time.
I'm more worried about Iginla's inconsistent efforts and the terrible defensive play.
