Jones was put on waivers by the Hurricanes on Friday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

EDGE Analysis

Jones played 73 contests with the Blackhawks last season, picking up four goals, 12 assists, 40 PIM, 116 hits and 118 blocked shots. Should he pass through waivers, Jones will likely be sent to the AHL, though it's unclear which club he'd play for in the minors since the Hurricanes do not currently have an affiliate.
