Acquired in the Milan Lucic trade to Los Angeles on Draft Day, along with defenseman Colin Miller, the prospect of Jones being a member of the Black and Gold was interesting, albeit for a brief moment.
Less than 80 hours later, Jones was told to pack his bags, again.
Just a day before the NHL’s Free Agency Frenzy, Jones was sent back to California. Bruins GM Don Sweeney traded the former backup to Jonathan Quick in exchange for prospect Sean Kurlay and a first round pick in the 2016 Draft. The very next day, Jones signed a three-year contract worth $7 million.
