I might be off base here, but if Korchinski was one the PP1 unit, we would be ranked somewhere around 15-20 range PP and not last in the league. Jones can’t hit the net, gets caught too far in the O zone leading to short handed chances, and has no flow on the ice other than passing to Bedard.

8 million @ year given to a unremarkable player.

He is absolutely brutal out there. The worst part is no one wants that contract, so we’re most likely stuck with him

Full transparency, I missed last nights game but Jones has looked amazing this year and I could not disagree more. Is he overpaid? Yes. Is he still a reliable 1-2 D-man, 100%
Also keep in mind he’s leading an very young, inexperienced D. Jones is NOT the problem.

You know what, he has been fantastic for the past 3 games. He’s taking a backseat on offence and letting Korchinski make the plays. He’s also passing more on the powerplay as well as making less mistakes, and when he does make a mistakes he recovers from it.
So as much shit as we like to talk about him, he’s looking like he will be a valuable member of this team in the future.
That said, he’s gotta come off the powerplay. We have better options and he really isn’t a smart offensive player.

Ehhh… I don’t hate the player. I hate the dullard who gave him that contract… Just imagine the damage he would have continued to do if he was still around…
