Why would we do either of those trades??

Max Jones has zero spot on this roster, better to send him somewhere where he will play to A. Gain respect as a GM and B. Getting him into the other conference as an insurance policy

I disagree

I don’t think we sign any of those UFAs honestly — Jonesy will be our LW/RW 3 or 4. Even as our 13th forward he 100% has a spot. The guy is loved in that room and he has looked solid the last couple games

Max Jones should be non tendered after the season but I have no idea why anyone would think it would make sense to take Weber’s contract on.

Not a Jones guy? I think a 4th line of Jones Groulx Leason could be interesting in the future right now

He’s a 4th liner. Maybe they give him his QO for 1.5M for one season but he shouldn’t take any type of priority in long term plans. You can find 4th liners pretty cheap in UFA.

1 year. can push to ltir. Reach cap floor. I honestly made that move before a few others thinking Anaheim wouldnt reach cap floor without him but they did so im gonna delete it lol

I am a Jones guy, love his energy and play style on the ice, but even I am starting to question his role with this team. He's a locker room guy which is why it would be hard to see him go, but the bottom 6 winger cabinet is getting pretty full, and he just isn't showing the type of improvement I was hoping for. He is better than Johnston, but Johnston fights. Jury is still out on McGinn with this team, but I think he's looked pretty solid in his limited action. Carrick and Groulx can play center, and Leason has looked great to start the season. I agree with qualifying him, but at this point in the season, I would not give him anything more than that. I just don't know that he provides anything unique to the bottom of our line up. I am hoping to be convinced otherwise, but once we get more top of line wingers and start bumping down our second line to third, the space for him is limited.
