Confirmed Signing with Link: [CHI] Seth Jones signs extension with the Blackhawks (8 years, $9.5M AAV)

[CokenoPepsi]

With a flat cap , and 2 years before his contract expires I wouldn't be so sure about him getting a 4 or 5 year term or more than Hymen . I could see depending on various factors a 2 year deal but 4 or 5 and a flat cap nope don't see it. Maybe a team who has cap space and is a bona-fide contender Kane might go for less money.

Alex Ovechkin is about to turn 36 and is expected to sign a 4 year deal at 10 million AAV.

Do you really expect Kane to sign for 4 million and make less than Hymen?

He is getting PAID

Let’s put it this way: Jackets GM Jarmo Kekalainen was backed into a corner by the mere fact that Seth Jones had a very, very short list of teams he would be willing to sign an extension with.
And Chicago definitely topped the list.
The Flyers were hoping to land Jones but once they realized he wouldn’t extend with them, Philadelphia pivoted and traded for Ellis instead.
The Habs kicked the tires on Jones after the gravity of Shea Weber’s injury situation became clear, but that ship quickly sailed once Montreal also found out they weren’t a place Jones would sign.
And there were other teams in the same boat who realized they couldn’t get Jones extended.

First game with the Hawks and carried on right where he left off, being a total disaster. This is going to be quite the contract. Kekäläinen is a marketing genius.

Jesus Christ, Jones had a 32% CF% while getting 70% offensive zone starts yesterday. Overall shot attempt differential of 17-35 in 22 minutes at ES. That's an atrocious game, that's Jack Johnson level bad.

the same Jack Johnson that played with Avs last night and played almost 19 mins and scored a goal?

Oof if Jack Johnson is playing 19 minutes for your team, your defense must be in really bad shape

I am convinced that individual stats are influenced by team situation ( TOI, partner, quality of goaltending and coaching) far greater that what our current analytics would lead us to believe

It will be very interesting to compare Seth Jones to Duncan Keith at the end of this year. According to analytics guys, Kieth was one of the 3 or 4 worst dmen in the league last year. Well, he has looked very good so far this year. He did not change, his situation changed

The same JJ who scored, was a plus player and was not a liability???

I'll add that adv stats are for armchair coaches and gms that don't feel they have to watch the games to get a true sense.

Jones was pretty good last night. Would help if he didn't have to play with CDH.

Like hell he was. He was downright horrible.

Yeah well I watched the game and he was terrible. Seemed like he spent most of the game running around in his own end. CDH is bad but you can't just blame it on him either.

 

[Crede777]

Jones didn't look bad last night, but Chicago did and Jones was the guy on the ice most often for them... so make of that what you will.

 

[TLEH]

I watched the whole game, the Hawks got f***ing smoked the first period and were outshot 18-2. Jones wasn't making egregious plays that were directly leading to scoring chances. Hockey is way too much of a luck and bounce sport that relies on a whole team that you can just pull up analytics of shots for and against, scoring chances for and against, and get the whole picture. In baseball, I live and die by analytics because its 1 on 1 controllable events over and over with tons of data.

I didn't like the contract the day it was signed, and didn't like how much we gave up in the trade, but Jones got smoked in the first period just like every single other Hawks player. After that, he was good and I thought he generated and exited the zone fine. I'm still not a fan of the trade, but hockey analytics as a whole have a long way to go before you can pull them up after a game and feel good about what you're seeing.

 

[Spectra]

Lol, yeah this contract will be Seabrook 2.0 in the not too distant future. Hawks have gone from the best run franchise in the league to one of the worst. Shame that the HoF careers of 3-4 players were wasted like this the last 6 years. As soon as you gave "loyalty" contracts to people like Seabrook and Bickell, it spelled doom for the Dynasty. Tragic to see, should have been at least 5 Cups the last 10 years and I can guarantee you that no team with Seth Jones as a centerpiece on defence will ever win a Stanley Cup. Incompetence and nepotism are the hallmarks of this org right now.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Woof

and his extension doesn’t kick in till next year?

 

[Crede777]

Some mighty big predictions after only one game.

You realize it was one game right?

 

[nightonthesun]

Wait, is this also the same Jack Johnson who released five soft rock albums which included successful hit songs such as "Upside Down"?

Jones looked bad last night but wow, do we just know everything after one game or what

 

[LordZapp]

Buyout in 2024-2025 incoming.

 

[rt]

It’s one game you freaks.

 

[Njfj]

This. Just, and only this.

Jones didn't look bad last night, but Chicago did and Jones was the guy on the ice most often for them... so make of that what you will.

What if the Hawks looked bad because Jones was the guy on the ice most often? Maeks u think

 

[bsu]

the same Jack Johnson that played with Avs last night and played almost 19 mins and scored a goal?

You think that's gonna last?
