23-Year-Old DefensemanD
New York Rangers
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Jones spent the entirety of last season in the NHL, serving as the Rangers' seventh defenseman. As a result, his playing time was extremely limited. He appeared in just 31 regular-season games (two goals, nine points) and none after April 7. The good news is that Jones showed extremely well when in the lineup to the point that New York neglected to sign a replacement for Erik Gustafsson in free agency, all but opening up a full-time roster spot for Jones. There could be some sneaky fantasy value here if Jones is able to secure a role on the club's second power-play unit, but that's far from a given. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a two-year, $1.625 million contract with the Rangers in June of 2023.
Contributes helper

October 15, 2024
Jones notched an assist in Monday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.
ANALYSIS
Jones' helper was his first point of the year, but he's been steady with a plus-3 rating through three contests. The 23-year-old defenseman has filled a spot on the third pairing to begin the year, but he may lose his place in the lineup once Ryan Lindgren (upper body) returns to action.

September 29, 2021
Jon Litterine breaks down his top 50 NHL prospects heading into the 2021-22 NHL campaign.
2022 Fantasy Outlook
Jones should have spent most of his first full professional season in New York, but he ultimately played just 12 games with the Rangers and 52 games with their AHL affiliate in Hartford in 2021-22. He was brilliant (9 goals, 35 points) as a 21-year-old for the Wolf Pack. Jones is a legitimate power-play quarterback with terrific offensive ability. He struggles in his own zone at times and will never be the type to log significant defensive minutes, but he's clearly ready for a full-time gig at the NHL level, likely starting this coming campaign alongside Braden Schneider on the team's third defensive pair.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Receives praise from coach
DNew York Rangers
November 7, 2023
When asked about Jones on Tuesday, coach Peter Laviolette said, "We're going to put him back in there. He, along with everybody else, gets another opportunity to go play a good game. His attitude has been unbelievable," Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Laviolette specifically praised Jones' ability to remain positive despite being out of the lineup for extended periods as a healthy scratch -- Jones had watched eight straight games from the press box before logging 13:44 of ice time in a 5-4 loss to Minnesota on Saturday. The 23-year-old has gone scoreless while posting a minus-3 rating through two contests overall this season.
