Jones was acquired by the Wild from Calgary on Monday for Niklas Backstrom and a sixth-round pick in the 2016 draft.

EDGE Analysis

Jones tallied nine goals and six assists in 59 contests with Calgary this season prior to the trade. The 31-year-old winger has totaled 188 points in 446 games played with Calgary and Colorado over the course of his career. It is unclear how big of a role he will have with Minnesota at this point, but it seems likely the veteran Jones will push for playing time on one of Minnesota's forward lines.
