Boston's Cam Neely Could Be Next On The Hot Seat During this past off-season, the Boston Bruins [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/boston-bruins/] signed Max Jones to a two-year, $2 million contract. The expectation was that the 2016 first-round pick would be a solid piece of the Bruins' bottom six due to his size, physical style of play, and speed. However, after posting zero points, eight penalty minutes, and a minus-4 rating in four games with Boston, he was placed on waivers [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/boston-bruins/latest-news/bruins-place-struggling-forward-on-waivers-jones] and assigned to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Providence Bruins, in November. Since then, the 6-foot-3 forward has eight goals and 11 points in 26 games with Providence. With Mark Kastelic being placed on injured reserve, Jones has now been recalled [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/boston-bruins/latest-news/bruins-call-up-2-gritty-forwards] to their NHL roster with Patrick Brown. This now gives Jones a grand opportunity to show the Bruins that he belongs on their NHL roster rather than down in the AHL.

If Jones impresses during his call-up, it would help his chances of sticking around longer when the Original Six club gets healthier. It will be very intriguing to see what Jones can do during his call-up from here. In 262 career NHL games split between the Anaheim Ducks and Bruins, he has 31 goals, 62 points, 219 penalty minutes, and 459 hits. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Image [https://thehockeynews.com/.image/c_fit,h_600,w_600/MjEyMTYzODI4NzY5NjI5NzMx/google-news.png] Stay updated with the most interesting Bruins stories, analysis, breaking news and more!
