2024 Fantasy Outlook

$Signed a one-year, $875,000 contract with the Maple Leafs in August of 2023.

April 18, 2024
Jones turned aside 26 shots in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Lightning.
ANALYSIS
Tampa Bay jumped out to a 2-0 lead before seven minutes had elapsed in the first period and built a 5-1 lead before the second intermission, and Toronto's late rally ended up falling short. This could be Jones' last appearance for the Maple Leafs -- the 34-year-old netminder will be a free agent in the offseason, and the team is more likely to bring back Ilya Samsonov to pair with Joseph Woll. Jones went 11-8-1 during his season in blue and white with a 2.87 GAA and .902 save percentage over 22 outings, numbers that should be good enough to earn him an offer from a team in need of a veteran backup in the crease.

Jones was an effective game-winner for Seattle last season, posting a 27-13-3 record with three shutouts despite a lackluster 2.99 GAA and .886 save percentage in 48 games. At 33 years old, Jones can still be a solid backup for most teams, but he shouldn't be entrusted with a starter's workload. He signed with the Maple Leafs in early August, but with Ilya Samsonov and Joseph Woll also in the mix, Jones is not guaranteed a spot on the Opening Night roster.
Jones arrived in Philadelphia a season ago following six years with the Sharks and it didn't go well. Pressed into action for 35 games, Jones finished with a 12-18-3 record, .900 save percentage and career-worst 3.43 GAA. He was linked to a couple teams in free agency before signing a one-year deal with the Kraken. An ACL injury to Chris Driedger should open the door for Jones to serve as Philip Grubauer's primary backup in 2022-23, but Jones hasn't posted a solid season in four years and he is unlikely to see much playing time, making him a clear pass in all fantasy formats.
Jones has been trending in the wrong direction for several seasons but his 2020-21 performance for the Sharks was the final straw for the club. San Jose bought out Jones' contract on the heels of a year in which he posted a 3.28 GAA and an .896 save percentage. The model of consistency, Jones has somehow finished with exactly an .896 save percentage each of the past three seasons. An unrestricted free agent following the buyout, Jones signed a one-year, $2 million deal with the Flyers. He will back up Carter Hart in The City of Brotherly Love and will have virtually no fantasy value barring an injury to Philadelphia's No. 1 goaltender.
Jones had a 2019-20 to forget, finishing with just 17 wins and a career-worst .896 save percentage and a 3.00 GAA after four straight seasons of at least 30 wins. The Sharks' demise was foreseen, but it happened far faster than most expected. Despite being financially committed to Jones long term, the Sharks saw fit to acquire Devan Dubnyk from Minnesota this offseason, and the two backstops will enter the 2020-21 campaign in a definite timeshare. How much each goalie will play will depend on their individual performances, but Jones should have the edge entering the season as the incumbent. Nonetheless, until either Jones or Dubnyk can perform at a starting-caliber level, they won't garner much interest from virtual managers aside from the occasional streaming start.
It's tough to know which version of Jones will show up on a given night. Last season, he turned in the worst ratios of his career -- including a 2.94 GAA and .896 save percentage --- but still posted three shutouts and skated off with 36 wins in 62 appearances. Jones also showed tremendous resolve in squeaking past the Golden Knights and Avalanche with each playoff series lasting seven games, but the Stanley Cup-winning Blues caused fits for San Jose's top netminder, as they put the puck past him 22 times on 168 shots during the Western Conference finals. Sharks backup Aaron Dell will be an unrestricted free agent next summer; he's running out of time to push Jones for the top job, though a shrewd strategy would be to go after both goalies in teal since their win potential is sky-high behind a punchy offense.
Jones had a slightly disappointing campaign in 2017-18, posting a 30-22-6 record in 30 appearances after racking up 37 and 35 wins in 2015-16 and 2016-17, respectively, but he still posted decent peripherals, registering a 2.55 GAA and .915 save percentage over that span. The Sharks are primed to contend this season, and Jones will once again be deployed as a workhorse, so it wouldn't be surprising to see his win total rebound toward the 35 mark. The 28-year-old may not be one of the league's most talented starting netminders, but his standing as the starter for one of the NHL's most talented teams will make him one of the more attractive options at his position in drafts this season.
Jones, the Sharks, and fantasy owners alike should be pleased with the netminder’s 2016-17 campaign despite the disappointment of being eliminated by the upstart Edmonton Oilers in Round 1 of the playoffs. Though he experienced a marginal decrease in numbers when it comes to wins, GAA, and save percentage, Jones performed well while assuming the third heaviest workload for a goaltender in the League. San Jose recognizes Jones’ current status as a legitimate No. 1 goalie and, at just 27 years of age, his potential to become a top-5 goalie in the NHL. With that in mind, Jones inked a six-year extension during the summer, which firmly establishes him as the Sharks’ netminder for years to come. While San Jose isn't considered a serious contender for the Stanley Cup and lost Patrick Marleau to Toronto in free agency, Team Teal should qualify for the postseason with their remaining offense firepower and Jones’ backstopping ability. Also, with an unproven backup in Aaron Dell behind Jones, he should be in line for another 60-plus starts in 2017-18.
Brought in from Los Angeles prior to last season, Jones seized a golden opportunity to become a bonafide No. 1 NHL netminder and never looked back. A career backup with less than 30 NHL starts under his belt, the British Columbia native was rolled out for a whopping 65 starts (fifth most in the NHL), delighting fantasy owners that rolled the dice on him with a 37-23-4 record, 2.27 GAA and .918 save percentage, not to mention six shutouts – second only to Chicago’s Corey Crawford . Jones further cranked things up in the playoffs, posting a 2.16 GAA and .923 save percentage en route to backstopping the Sharks to within two wins of their first ever Stanley Cup title. Heading into this season, the Sharks will have a bit of a target on their backs given their triumph over the rest of the Western Conference in 2015-16, but as long as Jones can handle the rigors of another 60-plus starts and doesn’t regress too much now that the rest of the league has a larger sample size for their scouting reports, the 26-year-old should again be one of the top fantasy options between the pipes.
Jones did a lot of bouncing around in a short time this offseason. Following a bit of a down season as Jonathan Quick's backup, the Kings dealt him to the Bruins, who traded the restricted free agent to the Sharks, who in turn signed Jones up on a three-year deal. Now he'll battle Alex Stalock for starting duties, and although the incumbent is a narrow favorite going in, it's hard not to like Jones to beat the odds. He's generally dominated at every level of hockey, never posting a save mark under .911 since age 17 until last year's .906. Jones is also bigger and younger than Stalock, and the long-term commitment the Kings made suggests they've got plans for him. Draft him cheap and enjoy the bounce-back year.
Jones was spectacular for the Kings when Jonathan Quick went down with a groin strain in December, going 8-0 with a 0.96 GAA and a .966 save percentage to start his career. He slipped a bit in his last dozen starts or so, probably because of exhaustion, but still gave the Kings a very capable backup the rest of the way. Quick's going to get a heavy workload, but Jones could command a bit more playing time if he can continue his development as the backup in LA.
Jones had a solid season at Manchester of the AHL (27-25-4, 2.53 GAA, .919 save percentage) despite some midseason struggles and is the team's top netminding prospect with Jonathan Bernier and Jeff Zatkoff both out of the picture. Jonathan Quick's contract extension certainly puts a dent into whatever long-term value he may have had with the Kings, but he could challenge for the backup job in two years. For now, he's likely headed back to the AHL with Ben Scrivens in the fold to back up Quick.
Jones split time with fellow prospect Jeff Zatkoff in Manchester's goal last year and remains a solid prospect despite seeing his numbers slip just a bit (2.60 GAA, .919 save percentage in 41 games). Jones would seem to be the next in line for backup duties if the Kings were to trade Jonathan Bernier after Zatkoff signed a deal with the Penguins in the offseason.
Jones wrestled away the starting netminder job from Jeff Zatkoff for Manchester in the AHL with a dazzling 12-2-0 record through December before struggling down the stretch with an 11-10-1 streak in his last 22 starts. He'll get another crack at the starting job in Manchester looking to build off his solid, albeit inconsistent, season (23-12-1, .924 save percentage, 2.25 GAA) for the Monarchs.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Staying with Toronto
GToronto Maple Leafs  Free Agent
February 29, 2024
Jones will remain with Toronto as its third goaltender, according to Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun.
ANALYSIS
As the Maple Leafs welcome back Joseph Woll, who missed the last 35 games with a high-ankle sprain, Toronto will go with three goalies on its roster. Woll is expected to battle Ilya Samsonov for the top job, leaving Jones as a backup on the bench or a healthy scratch. Jones could get the occasional start, though it is more likely that he eventually will return to the AHL.
