Agency
Premium
A defenseman with an excellent frame. Jones' athleticism allows him to be a very good skater for a player of his size. He has excellent mobility and is solid both offensively and defensively. Jones gives a smart first pass and is also capable of utilizing his skating ability to bring the puck up himself. He has good hockey sense and is an asset on the powerplay thanks to his mobility, puck-handling and a very dangerous slap shot.
(Matias Strozyk, 2012)
