How about that.

 

[Nzap]

Should we care, or AHLer for AHLer?

 

[Azrael89]

Is Jones someone who could be in our lineup tomorrow?

 

[Ararana]

Is this our sixth D when Bednar realizes JJ is worse that EJ?

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Yeah this was exactly the type of move I was expecting to be honest. Rather than a waiver claim for a Dman... This way they don't take on an additional contract without losing one, and Jones has already cleared waivers so now he can be assigned to the AHL anytime in the next month essentially unless he plays a bunch of games which feels pretty unlikely.


Smart move, despite a mostly insignificant one IMO.

 

[Balthazar]

Would have much prefered a RD but at least we've got someone that now sits between JJ and Malinski/Hunt.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

I like it. We have a log jam everywhere but cal burke is taking valuable ice time from youngsters like ivan ivan, JLF and to a lesser extent Steinburg.

On defense, whose really developing there? Malinski is 25, everyone else has multiple AHL years. Might even have Jones up here for a bit.

Burke is staying with the Eagles

I think Jones might end up playing a good portion of the season, more than people seem to be expecting.

I bet Terry Frei likes this trade. Even if it’s the other Jones brother.

Frei: Colorado Avalanche blew it by not selecting Seth Jones with No. 1 pick

JJ has been better for the Avs than EJ during the time he has been here. This is a fact.

 

[22FUTON9]

Didn’t Jones have pretty good advanced stats last year?? Might be totally wrong but I had the impression he was atleast somewhat solid

Oh he's certainly getting games and probably 30+.

 

[Ararana]

Last year, yes. The cup year, no. Either way, that's like saying one pile of shit is better than another. JJ last year was f***ing horrible.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Given the Avs injuries... Ya he'll play. I'd venture to guess he ends up in 40-50.

 

[EdAVSfan]

What kind of play do we expect from him?

I can’t recall ever really watching him play.

 

[Avs_19]

I've always liked him going back to his Oilers days. Nothing special and will make his share of mistakes but he's not a bad player. He's better than JJ but likely won't play over him due to them wanting JJ on the PK.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

 

[Sea Eagles]

Last year, yes. The cup year, no. Either way, that's like saying one pile of shit is better than another. JJ last year was f***ing horrible.

Okay, we did come 7th overall last year. EJ and JJ have NEVER been how you just described them (both AVS Cup winners, too).

Unsure how you could call players who bleed for your own team names like that, but yeah - each to their own.

Carolina doesn't have an AHL affiliate this season as Chicago Wolves ended their relationship. So, kind of makes sense, but bummer if it eats minutes from other guys,

 

[BobRossColton]

Is this our annual TDL ahl'er for ahl'er?

 

[JWK]

Popeye wins one championship as an assistant coach and now he demands Kroenkes to acquire one of his son smh

 

[Nihiliste]

Can he have a positive impact when playing as a 6 or is this a replacement/sub replacement guy?

I cant see Jones not being brought up here when hes on a 1 way deal.
