makar yes, hughes not so sure...

and Fox is holding his Norris going...hold my beer

 

[MoreMogilny]

That's $76 million total for everyone out there without an abacus.

I left mine at the lodge, so thank you

Seth Jones is exhibit A on why advanced stats do not properly quantify the impact of defensemen

 

[Hatter of the Beach]

Hell yeah Seth, get that money boy!

 

[Dominance]

Great deal from Chicago in all honesty 9.5 is a steal for Jones

Quite the opposite.

 

[MoreMogilny]

People focus on the money too much sometimes. If you have an opportunity to get one of the best D in the league locked up long term, how much can you squabble about?
Chicago clearly plans to contend while they still have Toews and Kane at an age where they can play at a high level for at least a couple more years.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Fox is at least 12M now

 

[llamateizer]

Jones got paid baby.

Seth Jones is signing an 8-year extension w/ Chicago, sources tell ESPN. Blackhawks are receiving a 1st round pick (no. 32 overall) as part of the deal + CBJ 6th in 2022. Still waiting return for CBJ but Seth will get to play with his brother, Caleb, on Chicago's blue line.

@SchmaltzLiquor8 remember when you told me they traded Panarin because they couldnt pay 3 guys $10 million

 

[boredmale]

Come on Frank Seravalli tell us what is going back to Columbus

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Well worth it. Chicago is an odd fit but if you can trade for a Seth Jones and sign him for seven years, you do not decline.

What? It is not worth it

i can't count more than 10...i only got so many fingers.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Everyone who likes this deal is doing so based off his reputation from 5 years ago. Jones has been going down hill for years now but everyone still thinks he's great because he was good 5 year ago and hits people.

 

[jetsforever]

Has Jones become the most underrated player on these board seemingly overnight? Jesus.
Its like fans only care about the contract, not the player.

"For $12.5M AAV, you can have this good player named Con-"
"Whoa, I'm going to stop you right there. $12.5 you say?! Laughably bad"

Chicago clearly plans to contend while they still have Toews and Kane at an age where they can play at a high level for at least a couple more years.

The thing is that this contract basically makes sure that the Hawks won't seriously contend anytime soon considering what they already paying Toews and Kane.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

This deal gets worse with every new bit of information

 

[thesaadfather]

This trade sucks, as predicted.

 

[Del Preston]

Oh, he still has one year left on his current contract. So he will be making $9.5 million a season through 2029-30.

 

[Advanced stats]

I actually find the trade very fair.

The contract is yikes though, and I didn't see Chicago as the team that would give that deal.


But as an outsider, I love the action

 

[King 88]

@SchmaltzLiquor8 remember when you told me they traded Panarin because they couldnt pay 3 guys $10 million

Only 9,5 not even close 10

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

So, how many years until this is offloaded to the yotes?

 

[vanarchy]

Okay folks, this is a good old fashioned blockbuster. Woah.

 

[Breakers]

Jones at $9.5 is now underrated??????

good luck pushing that narrative

 

[Cynick]

66 million dollars and getting to live in the city of Chicago for 7 years. Seems like that's a pretty good day for Seth Jones.

My mistake. 76 mullion dollars and getting to live in the city of Chicago for 8 years. An even better day for Seth Jones.

This does help ease the pain from acquiring OEL, thank you for this.
