Proposal: Chi-Dal

[Blackhawkswincup]

To
D Seth Jones with $2.5M retention ($7M x 5 becomes his remaining contract after this year)

To
D Matt Dumba ($3.75M signed thru next season)
RW Emil Hemmings
Stars 2025 1st round pick

Yeah Hawks eat good chunk for next 5 years and take awful Dumba back to get a third 2025 1st round pick (Hawks have own + Leafs) which is likely to be late and a guy selected late in this previous draft who is having a poor year in OHL right now but would add as a prospect to Hawks system non the less at position of weakness (Wing)

Stars would need to LTIR Seguin here to fit Jones but he would give them big RD add to top 4 and well Dumba is pretty worthless at this point so that is no loss for them. They got Stranges and a few others so Hemmings loss from system does not hurt them too much + he is years away as prospect. Stars 1st will be well late this year

Probably too much retention. It's really hard to justify to an owner they are going to pay someone ~11.5M to play for a division rival over the next 5 years

At this point I'd do it just to get rid of Dumba

 

[Magic Mittens]

Doubt the Hawks would retain that much, but even 2M and I would do this trade from Dallas

I tend to think the Stars aren't going to trade two first round picks' worth of value for anyone.

No mention here of the player's point of view, he of the ironclad NMC? Seems relevant since Jones has, you know, a veto.
