Chris Kreider if he adds the scoring touch. I don't see any Etem in his game at all, I'm not sure I understand that one. Etem could not carry the puck on his stick at all, Jones is really good at that. His only problem has been finishing off plays - but I think that will come
The elder, maybe. I don’t doubt Jones would drop his gloves at all.His "attitude" reminds me of tkachuk
Marchand is short & elbows people, his favorite player must be the equally short: late Ted Lindsay aka Terrible Ted - the player responsible for elbowing becoming a penalty in the NHL rules. Terrible Ted was an elbowing machineI’m ok with him willing to go over the edge if it makes him an effective player. Look at All Star Marchand? Dude elbows and licks people... wtf
Max will do well this season to better identify the puck carrier on his line and get it to that player quicker. He just isn't that guy.
I asked the guy if that counted and didn't see that he answered. If so that is a definite flaw in the numbers and would explain some of Max's inclusion.A couple comments mentioned that "dump and chase" likely counts as a turnover, and that is definitely Jones' style.
He has some nice moves offensively but lacks the general offensive awareness to ever be a big points guy but yes, he can be effective in other ways. A good player to have on your team.I think he is our most underrated player. He does so many little things that help the team.
I think he is already settling into more of a 4th liner with ability to go up 1-2 lines for some spurts.I’m still seeing him as Matt Beleskey, without the hard shot, hard hits, quick willingness to drop the gloves to protect teammates, or offensive hockey sense. He needs to work on at least two of those things or he’s just going to be an average 3rd line grinder.

He is way way bigger, stronger, faster and better in front of the net but not nearly as good of a scorer. Whenever Belesky isn't scoring he is a negative. Jones is still a positive in my book when he isn't a scoring. He just needs to develop from a 3rd line grinder to a 1st or 2nd line role player.I wish the man would start laying the body hard. It's an underrated presence on a hockey team.
You are correct. Jones had a very good shot in the juniors and he put up McTavish type numbers with lopsided goals to assists.What I find interesting about Jones is that his shot was always a strength as a prospect but he just couldn't seem to ever get it off last season. I wonder if that's injuries piling up that he doesn't have it in his arsenal or that he's a young guy and still working through nerves/feeling like he has to go 100% speed all of the time instead of allowing himself that extra half second to get himself in a better position to release it. I don't think he'll ever be a big offensive contributor but he's got pretty decent hands and if he can figure his shot out he'll be able to carve out a useful complementary role.
