Don't worry, he will be AHL-bound once Russell is back because Manning was acquired and there are too many defensemen.
I don't know how any of Bouchard, Bear, or Jones elbow their way onto the team next year with millions of dollars and years of term committed to Manning, Russell, Sekera, and Benning. And UFAs Gravel and Petrovic might be better than those four guys too.

How do the Oilers keep Benning up over Jones?
Right handedness isn't an issue because Jones has been groomed to be a right side defenseman and it shows.
In the seven games Jones has been with the Oilers he has unquestionably been better than Benning. In five of those games he was head and shoulders better than Benning.
The Philly game (Jones' first in the NHL) and the Tampa game are the only games where the level of play between the two was even close.
|
Doesn't matter if he is better. All that cap hit is backing the Oilers into a corner. They can't financially afford not to. Jones costs them nothing in the AHL. Benning will cost 900k on the cap still.
