The blue line isn’t dysfunctional, it’s just downright bad.

Jones is trying the Kakko route and speaking out to get traded ASAP

imagine a player saying some shit like this in a winning org. they wouldnt even conceive of it. but in NY, the inmates run the asylum. The leaders of the org have zero control of their employees. It’s insane.

The leaders of the org are sounding more and more like the problem every day and the players who are coming out and complaining are just the tip of the iceberg. What else lies underneath?

We're getting players who are fed up so much that they'll risk their careers by speaking out publicly on a team just to get out of there. It's becoming a pattern to make an escape from the Rangers.

It happens every time they struggle, the media circus in Vancouver creates it all. All the rain gets everyone daydreaming indoors or something. Remove the media and it’s just a typical playoff team struggling with injuries after the shortest summer they’ve ever had.

It's his 5th year playing games with the Rangers. If they don't think he's a full time guy at this point, and other teams do, maybe they should deal him for an asset.

Sometimes the player isn't good enough, but sometimes it's just situstion.

Is he a sound Dman? I don't give a damn about stats(G,A,P) other than his position.

From the few games of his I have seen, he has looked good. I think on another team he maybe be able to push into a top 4 position when needed and maybe over time he can become a top 4 D.

A team like the Edmonton Oilers should take a chance on him, especially if he is cheap.

The problem isn't that they don't think he's a full time guy (like it wasn't with Kakko). The problem is that they think other (much worse) players are fullER time guys (in Jones' case Lindgren, Borgen, and Vaakanainen is borderline). And so players who don't deserve scratches are benched or scratched in favor of the older, shittier vets.

With the crap the Canucks have on defense right now I'd welcome the Jones experiment. Probably could break out a pass better than anyone not named Hughes/Hronek on this Canucks roster.

He 6’5 and unable to move the puck? We don’t want him.
