Confirmed Trade: [CHI/CBJ] Jones, 2021 1st (32OA), '22 6th for Boqvist, '21 1st (12OA), '21 2nd, '22 1st (protected)

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

The 8 year deal starts 2022/23. He actually can't sign this deal till UFA day

 

[boredmale]

How is the 32nd pick a second rounder?

 

[LTIR]

Well CHI did save 5M by flipping Keith for C.Jones

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

This trade sucks, as predicted.

This is far from sucks

This is an abomination and just ensured the Hawks will not contend for a cup in 2020's

 

[Djp]

Tampa 1st this year would be st 31. Last pick of the 1st round.

 

[Golden Gophers 4649]

The difference between Seth Jones and Adam Boquist is 20 picks in a draft where most of the prospects haven't played in 18 months? Curious.

Yeah. 2029-30 would be the final year of the contract.

 

[Gargyn]

Why does the title say Tampa 21 2nd round pick and then says 32nd overall?? Wouldn’t Tampa’s 2nd round pick be like the 64th overall pick???

 

[The don godfather]

What's the entire deal looking good joe jackets so far dont like they gave their 1st round pick though. Let's see

 

[Gurglesons]

Pretty funny that Buffalo got more for Risto.

 

[ddlennon]

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.

Yeah reading some posts in this thread makes it very clear ppl didnt pay attention to columbus last year he looked like a anchor that werenski had to carry

 

[vanarchy]

That’s a spicy meatball

I usually throw in a second "a" after spicy for the added accent.

Arizona lost their pick. I hate that's how they're considering it, but is what it is.

...no, they didn't...Boquist is going to be a STUD, imo...

Arizona got fined their 1st

 

[kp61c]

Too long. Will he be able to retire early because of some strange disease if something goes wrong?

 

[Djp]

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

this year he’s 25 as of sept 16.

I’m concerned on the last 3 yrs of that extension

I guess you can saabrook us leaving a warm seat for him?

 

[Accelleratii]

Ouch.

 

[ColbyChaos]

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

*checks watch

Ah yes I forgot it was 2017 still

 

[StIvany4Norris]

Can’t imagine this being a better idea than just giving the same money to Hamilton

But this will certainly settle lots of debates, so looking forward to seeing how it shakes out in a few years

Get off the ledge. He's been in Norris contention four out of the past five years. He had a poor season this year on a team in tumult. I guess it's all over right? Guy is 26 and has all the tools. No chance he rebounds I guess?

No way they were paying 9.5

Years? He had a bad year, just like Columbus did as a whole.
Hes still young at 26 too... only 5 years older than Boqvist.

@Viqsi do my eyes deceive me or is there no 1st line center here

1) Whole trade return isn't out yet,
2) If you'd been paying attention in the slightest you'd know that I'd revised the requirements for a return when he said he wanted to go to free agency.
