2014-15 report cards: David Jones' season
Today we look at ol' Davey Jones and his second season with the Calgary Flames. Let's see how this former ninth-round pick played this season.
When David Jones and Shane O'Brien (remember that guy?) were acquired in the Alex Tanguay and Cory Sarich deal I wasn't super impressed. I'll be the first to admit that David Jones took a while to grow on me, though there are factors of his game I still don't enjoy.
He was fresh off a 27 goal season in 2010-11 and then a reasonable 20 goal campaign in 11-12. That garnered a fancy new contract (four years at $16 million) with the Avalanche, and he didn't live up to expectations in the first year of the deal.
