it's going to be (frank)ing wild. Kassian and Tkachuk loathe each other and are complete poopheels. There's going to be fights in the streets. - BINGO!
One thing that is still aggravating me pretty bad. How in earth is Jones gonna get experience if he never plays in a game. Next year is it the same thing? Like cmon. I’d buy the decision more if Braun wasn’t playing 8 minutes a game. Jones can handle 8 (frank)in minutes..Hes a lefty and he’s got speed, dress him for Christs sake

Dude, he will get his chance, relax He's played all of what, 12 NHL games, and looked really good in one that was meaningless. Let him come into camp, show something and make it next year

Says a lot that this is now the second team where his teammates have given him an award for his dedication and just being an awesome teammate. - BINGO!
He really is just an awesome player. Reminds me of Nemchinov on the rangers back in the day. Quiet, not flashy and does everything right

I agree with both views on Jones. I think in some ways he would look so much better than Braun or Nemeth. But with 12 games of NHL experience do we really want to watch him get caved in with Schneider against the Canes?

He can’t be any worse than Braun is the point tho. Game one is a perfect opportunity.

No Give him a full year next year. Braun hasn't been that bad. Nemeth has been ugh. And lets be realistic the whole defense has not looked great in the post season

That’s where gallant needs to manage their time. If they are only playing 7-9 min a game u give them offensive zone face offs and limit their d zone time if they constantly get pushed back they ride the bench. I honestly think them 2 would a good pair

Isn’t the idea to gain these kids experience? You deal with mistakes, lord knows everyone made like 50 mistakes in round one
He’s played a total of 28 minutes the last 3 games, Braun.
At this point there is no way Gallant is riding a rookie pair of Schneider and Jones. It's just not worth getting upset about cause it won't happen - TPC
Well you're gonna fight with TJ about it and like it.

Was it the Colorado game where he got roasted and sent back to Hartford? - JRR1285
I think so. He really hasn't looked all that good at the NHL level. I also think they had no intention of playing Schneider cause he got sent down for playing poorly too. He played him self back into the lineup though cause he was so good when he came back

7-9 minutes per night? You're going to play your other pairs 25+ minutes each?

How can you say that? Jones has more offensive skill in his pinky then Braun has had in his whole career.
Not trying to kill Braun, but to say he couldn’t possibly be any better is silly
They need a different element for teams to deal with - Slimtj100
I can say it because the dude was not good during regular season games, the few he was in. He has no idea what the NHL playoffs are like and we are entering a round where we are playing arguably the best forechecking team in the league. Give me Braun everyday over someone who has a few games of experience and none in the playoffs
