I haven't wanted to put this into a more thought out post yet - but I think the Bruins are going to regret trading him. He's a stud. And I think the Bruins would have had pretty much the same season with him in net as they would with Tuukka.
Outside of Henrik, Price and Rask, and maybe Luongo, the order of the starting goalies changes from year to year and is mostly random, as just a few goals can change places on the leaderboards by a lot. Who would have thought Dubnyk and Mason would be 2-3 in SV% last year?
If you see 1600 shots, 16 goals will make the difference between a .930 SV% - Vezina candidate, a .920 SV% - average starter and .910 - in danger of being benched. A goal every 4 games.
All of which is a long way of saying that Jones is probably a decent starter but it's a very small sample and I wouldn't be very worried about him being one that got away.
