Hockey at the Horseshoe is cool

Cats looking for a back to back.

Blackhawks retain 25%, Florida sends back a 2026 1st and Spencer Knight.

That's a great trade for Florida. They REALLY needed a RD after Montour left and Ekblad's pending free agency. In a limited market, Jones is a solid pickup for them for not that high of an asset cost.

I think Jones would have looked good next to Slavin for at least 2 seasons, but Carolina doesn’t have the cap space right now to fit him. Would have been an offseason move.

honestly i think that's flat out BAD for Florida. Even if Knight is never what he was projected to be and that pick is #32 Jones is not worth that much with that contract at this point with his play the last 2-3 years.

That’s a $7M Jones now, which is less than Florida has been paying Ekblad to try and survive to the end of his contract.

Nah, I think this is a great buy-low risk for Florida. I will never doubt Florida's best-in-hockey pro scouts, and considering his very successful Columbus days with a famously hard-ass Tortorella, he could be a great systematic fit with the Panthers, especially at only a 7M cap hit in a rising environment.

If that pick is #32 it won’t have been a flat out bad trade for Florida.

It's always hard to say when these guys come from awful teams. It won't be surprising if he looks rejuvenated in Florida. But it won't be shocking if he stays bad either. Even at his best he's always left me wanting more though.

Would be interesting if they win another cup and a few years from now it ends up the cost was the two best goalies in the league (Knight and Levi) dueling over the Vezina

Cheap, dirty hit from a cheap, dirty player

 

[Joe McGrath]

After 60 games, the Rangers are the most mid team in the history of being mid.

30-26-4, 15-13-2 both home and away, 183 goals for, 183 goals against.

Truly impressive dedication to being as middle of the road as one could possibly be.
