#11 Keith Jones
Scouting Report
The Finesse Game
Jones is a spark plug. He likes to make things happen by driving to the front of the net and taking a defenseman with him. His skating is adequate, and he uses quick bursts of speed to power himself to and trough the traffic areas. He has decent hands, is an eager finisher and plays well at both ends of the ice. He keeps the game simple and does his job. He isn´t very creative, but his efforts churn up loose pucks for teammates smart enough to trail in his wake. Jones is the antihesis of a natural scorer, because everything he accomplishes is trough effort.

The Physical Game
Jones is energetic and uses his size well. He needs more experience, but is tough and willing to pay a physical price. He isn´t the biggest player on the ice, but there are nights when you come away thinking he is. Jones finishes every check in every zone, and sometimes runs around a bit, but he is becoming more responsible defensively.

The Intangibles
Jones was a scorer at the college level and plays with grit and determination. He improves season by season, and has grown into his role as a two-way winger who can get 15-20 goals a season and act as a catalyst. He loves the game and knows what he has to do to stay in the lineup. He is also a athlete that won´t be spoiled by a bigger paycheck.
