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

[BatVader]

I love Jones, but this could start getting messy quick if the Hawks keep losing and decide to sell off assets like Kane and Toews. I wonder how that will sit with Jones who just hitched his wagon to the Hawks for most of his remaining career?

If Chicago starts selling assets, and Jones wants out, he can always waive his NMC

Please keep Colliton long enough to get the #3 pick.

Signed blue jacket fans

That’s brutal jeez what is Stan thinking holy

Everyone except the most ardent, homer Hawk fans knew this was an awful trade and contract the minute it happened. Signing Hamilton and keeping Boqvist and the draft picks would have been a much, much smarter move. I think they still would have gotten off to a terrible start with Hamilton but at least they could still rebuild with this year's pick (Sillinger or someone comparable) and a high pick this next offseason. But if what we have seen so far is an indication of how the Hawks perform this season then what a trainwreck!!

That's the issue I had, that they gave up Boqvist and the picks. That's something they really couldn't afford to do and will really hurt 3 years down the line.

Imagine getting all bent out of shape 3 games into the season.

Have you watched any of their games?

I dont need to in order to realize bashing Jones is the popular topic here more so than the team itself.

 

[Jerkbait]

Who's supposed to be their best D otherwise ?

I dont know but if he been that they offered so far they are doomed. Read . I didn't day anyone was better , I said if thats the best they got they in trouble!!! His play has been mediocre. While he is overrated he is capable of much better

-4 so far against the Wings after 2.
I don’t get why the Hawks just didn’t do what a poster above said. Keep your assets and sign Hamilton..

As a Devils fan I very glad the Hawks didn’t go after Dougie instead .

Jones is the least of our issues

Go read the Hawks boards. You might get a good laugh but few have any complaints about Jones game this year.

Fleury looks like hammered dog shit and this team is a train wreck. As long as that idiot is behind the bench everyone is gonna look like shit.

If not for covid, it's a team that's missed the playoffs for 4 years, and haven't won a playoff game in 5.

The Hawks are just getting out of a rebuild

They are gonna start selling assets

The solution is simple fire the coach. He’s the worst in the NHL

People don’t watch this team at all and these comments show it. Look at this roster and tell me it’s not competing for a playoff spot

They nearly got in last year off of hot goaltending and a red hot PP to start the year with kids everywhere and no Dach or Toews

I think you sell assets BEFORE you get out of the rebuild. Those are pretty expensive tutors. Like the Kings it appears maybe they're not doing it right. I hear Eric Staal is availabe on the cheap to mentor players.

This trade is a firm example as to why non-hockey markets are suddenly going to turn into long-term contenders.

Making Johnson your number one centre doesn't help either. This is one giant mess Chicago won't be able to clean up.

so far this season. This isn’t with slavin to supposedly do the heavy lifting.

Glad Chicago didn’t get him.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Mucho dinero for Senor Jones.

Chicago really knows how to take care of it's defensemen, you got to give them that.

Who told you Johnson is our 1C?

Johnson the Hawks number one C? Johnson has been playing wing as much as C. At times in the bottom six.

Dude. Just stop. You clearly never watch this team. I don’t blame you they are a mess but your so far in left field it’s comical

That was supposed to be an aren’t* gonna start selling assets

This team looks lifeless. Like they have tuned out the coach. Look at the players drawing up the plays today and Colliton watching like the stooge he is

I always check the lines on every team usually for my pool, and when I checked around first game for Chicago, Johnson was first line centre. But overall, that's still a dumb move. Sorry to you Hawks fans for having Colliton as a coach and Stan Bowman as your GM.

That's good right? Blue in the defensive zone, red in the other.

What's Jones looking like to make an apples to apples comparison?

Maybe try looking at time on ice?

Toews and Dach play way more than Johnson.

he doesn’t generate much, and he gives up a ton against.

You noticed that he's a plus player defensively, right?
