How do we know the team even wanted or expressed to Jones they were going re-sign him after signing Werenski to a similar contract??
You and others will dismiss it, but, I’m being serious. The organization had a chance to bring in his brother and stash him on the AHL team, IN-STATE, like they have with seemingly a countless amount of brothers and/or players with connections to Ohio/Columbus.
Then again, I’ve also never heard a concrete reason WHY people think Jones wanted to leave.
Hell, if we’re talking Jones, why not the current CAPTAIN of his team, and FORMER captain of the CBJ, Nick Foligno?? Did he “bail” on the CBJ? It’s almost like there’s seemingly a story there, eh?
