He's had good games but I frankly don't feel acknowledging one off good games because he then gives up 5 goals in a period or something next game. Eh, I guess I'm feeling angry enough about the rest of the team that I'm going to be generous.
This is the type of stuff that comes back to haunt you at the Boardies, leaving points on the table.
 
Said it in the GDT but all the hemming and hawing over Jones and penciling him into lineups and whining about him. The guy is just not good enough. He’s not a good enough skater to compensate for his size, he’s a very poor defender in his own zone and loses too many battles, he’s poor defending in transition. He can move the puck and play on the PP but he’s not really particularly good at either. Basically he’s not good enough at the things he’s good at to be a good NHL defenseman on a good team.

He maybe has a future as a 6D somewhere on a bad team, maybe he’ll find a good situation somewhere and carve out a career but I won’t lose any sleep about losing him and I feel like everyone here and in twitter whining about him not playing are kind of missing all of the deficiencies in his game. Lavi is a moron this year but Jones not playing over Lindgren or Trouba is a decision literally every single coach in the NHL would make. This isn’t Keith Yandle sitting in the press box or someone in a similar style who is a major plus of a player.
 
Rangers have won 9!!! games against playoff teams this year. They now need to go 14-3 to get to 95 points. If All the teams around them go on a losing streak, somehow, then 12-5 might make it in.

well were gonna go like 6-11…unless the rest of the east suddenly gets like lou gherigs disease they don’t have a prayer
 
You can't continue to roll out that top 6 as it is. There's no justifying leaving ptl together. Berard should be in the lineup, as well as Parsnipkakko. So with that in present my line combos

Cuylle Zibanejad Lafreniere
Panarin Miller Othmann
Kreider Trochek Berard
Parsnipkakko Carrick Rempe

I’ve become totally apathetic to Jones at this stage. It’s obvious he’s not in the plans long term and he’s getting kicked out the door this summer

So I don’t even care if he plays at this point
my only issue is that we are going to waste cap space and picks trying to find a replacement who basically does what he does as a #6 but is 2in taller

Not a Dehaan fan but he was playing ok before they took him out. Jones will stay in the lineup until Fox comes back for the pp but for me I'd prefer key on pp1 at this point. Jones just seems really predictable
