I don't think he's an upgrade, but who is going to be of more need Jones or O'Brien?

Blues have no room for Jones.

I guess the other option is trading Jones and retaining half his salary in return for a pick

You do realize what nepotism is, right?

"the unfair practice by a powerful person of giving jobs and other favors to relatives" - from Merriam-Webster Dictionary.

Ryan Hamilton and Dallas Eakins are not related.

You could argue "favoritism" or "familiarity," but not nepotism.

W-R-O-N-G

Nepotism does not only include relatives... "The practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives or friends, esp. by giving them jobs."

Every text I have clearly states that friends are included as part of nepotism.

Nepotism is favoritism granted in politics or business to relatives regardless of merit. The term originated with the assignment of nephews to cardinal positions by Catholic popes and bishops. Nepotism is found in the fields of politics, entertainment, business and religion.

That's not the modern definition. I have about 8 books all based on this stuff, and trust me, it includes friends. Google "does nepotism include friends" and you'll see.

Here's an example... http://www.ehow.com/how_8...9551_report-nepotism.html

Everywhere I have looked so far includes close friends. The origin is correct though.

You can use the modern definition when you get running water and stop using the hold behind the shed as a bathroom.

Jones had every opportunity. He didn't make it because he stunk. If he goes down and finds his old energetic play then he may get a final chance. But for now the other guys earned their spots.
