Matches up with the eye test quite well. Fine bottom pairing guy that got caved in as soon as they tried to move him up the lineup.

Hopefully he's taken some steps forward since camp where he was frankly quite bad.

Christ I forgot he was playing with Gravel....

Looking up the pairings from last season and seeing Garrison's name is the one that blew my mind.

Completely forgot that dude played 17 games last season.

You're right I forgot about him. Lots of stuff I have suppressed about that shit show of a season

3rd pairing minutes is the ticket.
According to Woodcroft Jones can play both sides.

Yup. He played the right side a lot last year in Bake.

 

[SwedishFire]

It’s a shame about Mandog’s hand injury. As usual, he was sticking up for a teammate and giving his all every shift.

Hurry back Brandon!!

.. but can he play hockey?

Manning fighting hard to be the one of the 10 potential 3rd pairing guys,

Still don't know how the boys never had a top 5 pick in 2019

I have a bit of a thing with Rum...a carry over from my teens.
Rum and I dont get along.

Thats said I havent tried it with eggnog and I do really LIKE eggnog.

I am very open to trying a White Russian.

jeezus guys - I thought some of you were as old as me - and never tried a white Russian?

It's essentially if you take a coke float and melt the ice cream, add some coffee flavour and some bite from the vodka and yummy!

This old fart approves! (of both the callup and the drink )

 

[Louis Cypher]

I can’t really recall how Jones looked on the right side last season up here or if he plays that side in Bakersfield. I would like to see him in a position to succeed. There’s no reason he can’t have as much of an impact for us as Bear has this year. I just don’t see him playing over Russell so it’s likely if he gets in it has to be on the right side with Klefbom.

I feel like a D of

Nurse - Bear
Klefbom - Persson
Russell - Jones

Would be our best option just unlikely to see.

No chance Benning is coming out.
It will be Pearson or Russell if hes banged up.

 

[optimism]

Jones.....why...Holland breaking with his stated policy....a good policy....hope there is a good reason!

What policy?

He has a history of over-ripening players in the AHL, and leaving them down for at least a season.
Jones has played in the AHL since as early as 2015-16 and has 124 AHL games and 17 NHL games where he played decent to good. He has 10 points in 13 games this far with Bakersfield.

He’s undoubtedly earned this call up. I’m confused why you’re upset with this move.

I consider myself still fairly young, at least not old (I'm 32) and I love a good White Russian. It's very good, especially around this time of the year.

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

Very high on Jones. Hope he sticks.
Don't know who he replaces with a healthy lineup long term this season. Takes Russell's spot comfortably next year.
I'm actually 'dreading' Larsson's return a little bit because he has not only been beyond awful for two years, but his style of play is gonna slow us down a lot. Puck won't move out of our zone for the 20+ minutes a night he's about to get.

Perhaps your right. I thought Jones showed relatively poorly in camp. However he is moving the puck fairly well in the A. I guess Holland after talking to Woodward has decided to give him a shot after just the 13 games this season. Maybe the discussion was ---Manning is hurt ....Persson needs 30 games in the A to develop some better defensive instinct and work on skills.....but we need a 7th...

 

[Anarchism]

Before camp started I really thought Jones Bear Lagesson and Persson would all get a cup of coffee early in the season so they could start to determine who could play at speed and who had what skills and what they would need to work on.
Really I thought that Jones and Bear would fight for the 5/6/7 position ....with Persson needing time to adjust in the A. Lagesson I thought after his cup of coffee would need another half season in A getting even better defensively.

I thought Jones held the upper hand slightly going into camp mostly because he showed well on the 3rd pairing last year.
Bear has been a revelation.....Jones dissappointed me in camp....Lagesson is what i thought and Persson is better a moving the puck up ice than i thought he was and worse in the defensive zone....

So one for four? So perhaps my earlier comment was me really trying to get a grasp on the situation....I have hope all four can make it in some capacity....and for two or three years our defensive cap will enable money to be spend on a valuable line driving forward for the second line we seem to lack ...

I guess its even more than that....if we can develop one rookie from the A like Mcleod and after the TD he can play relativley well in the show....and we can trade for that top 6 guy and maybe one bottom six guy.....Then in the off season we pickup a goalie that can challenge KostKo.....maybe we can be a contender next year instead of just fighting for a playoff spot....We certainly in a long time have potential defensive depth....

So yes maybe there was a little desperation in my comment about Jones..."lets not screw up his progression"....and very possibly im wrong again LOL

This is also his last year of waiver eligibility. The team needs to know what they have with him since there could be some interesting decisions to be made with the back end soon.

 

[voxel]

Jones’ brain farts per 60 has dropped significantly since last season IMO. Still a bit of a riverboat gambler but I like it. Not sure who he slots in for though.

 

[Blue Line Turnover]

I hear you.
It is a good movie.

Amazing movie

 

[PinSeeker]

Like it but what are the pairings Tip is looking at then? This does not help our right side conundrum - just put Persson in, warts and all, and keep Russell on 3LD.
So who does Jones replace?

 

[CupofOil]

Tippett really doesn't like Persson, does he?
I don't like calling up Jones as a fill in for a week or two and I certainly wouldn't like it if he's warming up the press box like Lagesson did. I want Jones called up when there's a real opportunity to steal a spot, that opportunity isn't there now.

IMO, they should have called up Lowe until Larsson returns and let him be the designated press box sitter.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I expect Jones to supplant Manning and if we're lucky he'll find a way to supplant Russell as well. I really hope he gets some looks.

All of sudden Russell/Benning being #6/7 would mean the team's defense got good.

To be fair, Larsson wasn’t exactly knockin the cover off the ball at the time either.

 

[Coffey]

Please. More young finesse players.
We don't need more Staios and Russells.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Cap Friendly has Manning listed as day to day so this call up may be short term especially with Larsson expected back by Tuesdays game vs San Jose.
