CHI doesn't think Jones has a bad contract. We aren't trying to "dump" him. And I don't foresee his contract becoming a problem, even when it is time to re-sign Bedard. JFresh player cards are a tool not an authority. As I have said many times before, Jones needs to be paired with a big defensive defenseman to have success, like he did with Gavrikov and is now doing with Vlasic. Chemistry and coaching play a bigger role than advanced analytics are capable of accounting for. So, no, we aren't taking on other teams bad contracts in order to move his contract. Pay for him if you want him, that is, if he even wants to move, because he has a full NMC.
