2024-25 Roster…too soon?

[Clownish]

We wouldn't even have Jones if I had a say, so not sure you should be so thankful.

You would add $2 mil AND 2 more years to the cap on a hunch that he can regain the one thing he had that was good. Buffoonery.

Oh no, not 2mil $$. I mean, we are wasting 9.5mil right now on someone who does not much of anything. It's been 12 games and playoffs of EP not being great, this will probably look pretty foolish in a couple of years. Lots of players have had 1 or 2 rough years in their careers, ill take the gamble if it means getting rid of Jones.

So you have nothing but "it seems like a good idea" and "I don't like Seth Jones". Fantastic GM'ing here.

I would like to see Slaggert get some NHL time.

Mikheyev and Anderson are doing whole lot of nothing out there. Give the kids some ice.

I imagine if bodies are moved prior to Deadline that he'll come up. A bit of AHL time won't hurt him.

 

[Space umpire]

Is there any track record of a player who at age 28 goes from a ~30pt 3rd liner to suddenly a legit top 6 wing on a good team?

Teams that win cups have 3rd liners that aren’t awful in a 2nd line role.

 

[Space umpire]

He'll get out of it eventually, he's only 25 years old, meanwhile Jones will only get worse every year from here on out and does nothing to help this team win most nights.

LOL

Count me in the camp that wants Seth Jones traded. What an infuriating player.

His NTC makes trades impossible, but I think there is one place that could both use him and be intriguing enough for Jones to waive, and that's Florida.

They're thin on defense with only 1 legit pair, and Ekblad is coming up on an extension in the off-season. Seth could go play in a nice state, on the defending champs.

They're also allocating 15 mil for goalies which is too much, and have Driedger as a plan B.

Do you think a Jones for Knight + Luostarinen + 2m more salary be something realistic?

Knight I would argue would fill a big need for us, Luostarinen could be a very nice third wheel option down the line to any pair.

Most ideal would be Knight + Lundell of course, but I doubt Florida would ever do something like that for a Jones caliber player+ contract.
