Whoa, we'll have a ton of money to lock up CB98 & co! Discuss your thoughts.

We now keep Seth Jones until Levshunov or Rinzel can take his spot. No need to trade him he can be easily sent to a team needing to hit the floor or in a rebuild in 2027.

what you could now so is make a hockey trade IE trade him for a NHL player that is sub 25, something like dylan cozens. the good thing is you would not have to retain.

While true, if you can get out of his deal really at any point without retention, I think you have to do it. I just don't think he's going to be a capable third pairing guy when his physical tools start to fade, and he doesn't have the hockey IQ to make up for when they fade. His downfall is going to be BAD and I'd imagine when it happens it's going to be fast.

Similar things were expected when Toews and Kane signed for 10.5 million.

He would have to agree to that (thanks Stan).

he has a NMC: not too likely he'll be willing to go to another doormat and lose big again

I think it's much more likely that he'll waive if he's going to a contender

He has a NMC clause so its not that easy. Why would he agree to go to another bottom feeding team right when the team he's been on is on the upswing?

NMC

Wait... wasn't everyone just a month or two ago wringing their hands over the NHL's financial outlook due to a weak Canadian dollar?

this. but, sadly, I think avoiding retention is a pipe dream

The Canadian dollar has been weak for a decade.

Sure, but I meant more particularly over their longterm outlook, too.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I think Seth is much more valuable than people here think. Like Trouba brought value.

If you can retain 2M or less and get a decent return now for it, I think I could stomach that. Anything above 2M retained for more than 3 years would make me want to barf.

 

[Malagahawks]

So looking forward and to position us for CB98's historical long term contract what about?:

Right after his ELC ends we extend on a bridge contract of 3/30M with a 10M AAV.

If you retain it's for the entire length of the deal.

If we're still bad he takes the one year deal for 11 million and he's walking into free agency at 25. No thanks.

I don't trust the US economy not to go into a recession in the next few years. I'd be shocked if the cap was raised that much.

Obviously.

I'm saying that if they were to wait another season or two to try and trade him when KK, Lev and Rinzel are ready to play in the NHL.

Based on what exactly?

Now means now. I don't understand what you mean by retention for more than three years if it's obvious.

 

[CallMeShaft]

Based on what exactly?

Few different things, but the biggest being tariffs. Prices for a lot of items are going to get jacked up, especially consumer electronics (phones, computers, game systems, etc).

Things cost more, people can't afford to spend as much, recession starts.

Politics which we aren't going to get into. My profession deals heavily with international commerce and I'm worried myself.

My first post could have been worded better.

Either way, I agree with you that his value isn't nearly as low as Hawks and other fans think.

But I also think him being deal this season is an absolute pipe dream, and I'm not particularly optimistic he would even be dealt next season either.

I think if he gets dealt it'll be in the offseason.
