I think his (Jones) value is has high as it will be with the Oil, I’m not convinced he’ll be a top 4 option long term nor (now I’m surprising myself in saying this) do I think he’s a better option than Kowboy at this time (and the coaching staff seemingly agrees with that).
For me, our LHD chart;
Nurse (obvy)
Willy
Kowboy
Jones
Lennstrom
If you can flip Jones for a middle 6 LW, or package him for a top 6 LW, it’s a no brainer. No one is taking Kowboy for that return without a near unpalatable sweetener. You’re organizationally inept if you deal Bear or Bouchard for anything short of a ransom. Jones is the one that likely has decent value around the league that you can bear to move while addressing a need.

I think this happens with most young defencemen that come through the Oilers organization. They have some early success, and people ignore even glaring flaws in their first season or so. Then there's suddenly an increased expectation at some point and any mistake (which all defencemen make) is amplified. After a short time, the fans lose faith, and there's demands for the defenceman's trade.
I think Jones has improved from when he started with the Oilers but the shine is off now and so fans are more likely to be critical. I do find that physical defenceman who hit a lot get more benefit of the doubt, even if they're even just as mistake prone.
