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

[oconnor9sean]

Did Chicago really trade their 2022 1st? There’s no way. They’re probably pretty comfortably the worst team in the Central next year.

Edit: They might challenge Arizona, so I take that back.

 

[DFF]

So if we think that the last pick of 1st round and Chicago's 2nd are not that much different value wise, it's basically Boqvist and two 1sts (one guaranteed to be pretty high at 11th) for Jones. That's a nice haul.

What about the 6th?

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

CBJ has had it rough but Jarmo has done a fantastic job lately in trades.

 

[Go Wings]

1st Fletcher = WTF
2nd Drury = Seriously WTF
3rd Benning = WITAF
4th Bowman =

Do not forget Kenny Holland

 

[JoemAvs]

A 2022 1st. With no conditions on the pick.

Why do I get the feeling this could end up like the 2020 Sharks?

Because its very likely. The Hawks are not a good team. Jones or no Jones.

 

[burstnbloom]

I guess OEL doesn't have the worst D contract in the sport anymore. That's something.

 

[Kranix]

Now Bowman will trade Debrincat for Kerfoot

 

[Some Other Flame]

Is this Bowman salting the earth before he's fired for the whole sexual abuse coverup? Or is he just trying to one up Fletcher and Drury to see who can make the most hilariously awful trade of the day? Either way, what a clown.

 

[DeltaSwede]

What a tough day for Chicago fans. That is a huge haul for Columbus and then the contract extension on top of that.

 

[JesusNPucks]

Was pissed Nill couldnt pull the trigger for Jones in Dallas.... saw the extension and im ok now that he didnt lol

Agreed. Unless Jones really takes a leap, that’s a bad contract.

 

[La Bamba]

Jarmo slowly rebuilding the stable of picks he gave away during the era of the Duchene Fiasco

The Duchene 'fiasco' lead to a hilarious sweep of the Lightning so it was worth it for the memories

 

[Hatter of the Beach]

Two good trades for the BJs today. Like to see them make the best out of a bad situation

 

[Viqsi]

Stan went back to the well and got abused again.
The Jackets certainly did not get the centers they wanted from Chicago but pretty much everything else.

how about that huh

 

[Dotter]

Odd trade by CHI.

CBJ winners.

 

[kp61c]

The price Chicago paid is criminal.

According to Pierre LeBrun that 1st in 2022 is conditional

Full trade: To Chicago: Seth Jones, the 32nd overall pick tonight, a sixth-round pick in 2022 To Columbus: Adam Boqvist, first and second-round picks this weekend, a first-round pick 2022 (if the pick is top 2, it becomes a 2023 first round pick instead)

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Say what you want about players staying in Columbus. Jarmo can trade. Man, if he was GM of a club like the Rangers he’d be GM of the year.

 

[CatchyTune]

Columbus did very well for a player 1 year from UFA, who wanted out. Good start to a rebuild along with the Foligno/Savard deals.

As for Chicago, its a lot to pay but you get a 26 year old #1D who will probably be the face of the franchise if Toews/Kane days end.

 

[absolute garbage]

What about the 6th?

Right. That doesn't really change much but sure you can add that in there.

I wonder if the 2022 1st is protected somehow.

 

[Breakers]

I guess OEL doesn't have the worst D contract in the sport anymore. That's something.

Vlasic and Karlsson are brutal
I dare say even worse

 

[The Land 216]

And now Columbus has already traded the second rounder to Carolina for Jake Bean

So it's not two shots at Wright. That's fine. Still a good return.

 

[Chayos]

Do not forget Kenny Holland

Well he gave up a number 7 defenceman and a third for Keith so far, so not good enough for the shit GM list this week. Next week we will see

 

[LTIR]

Dude... that's brutal. Good in Columbus, but this trade/extension alone should get Bowman fired.

Jones was allowed to talk to other clubs so this was probably the market value for him. He is a 26 yo top pairing RH Dman
Maybe 600K too much for extension and a 1st too much in trade but not a bad deal overall.

 

[Go Wings]

First let me start by saying this I am a fan of Seth Jones. I think he is an excellent shutdown top pairing dman.

That being said the contract they gave him is ridiculous. The amount they paid for him is also ridiculous.

I have a serious question, does Chicago even make the playoffs next season when they are back in the insanely tough Central division?
