Jones'in...

Rumors are flying around about Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Randy Jones. The word is he will be placed on waivers sometime this weekend and that the Blueshirts have interest. He is a solid 28-year-old defenseman who does have some offensive upside (31 points in 2007-08) but is another player coming off hip surgery. Early reports on him out of Flyer camp are not good, especially from him. “There is still a little bit of discomfort [there] but it’s not remotely close to last year,” Jones said. With Michal Rozsival and Marian Gaborik the Rangers have enough hip pains.

Jones is scheduled to make $2.75 million this year but if the Rangers claim him on re-entry they'd split that fee with the Flyers. If you can move Rozsival, you take a chance on Jones. If you can't... you don't.
