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

[Crede777]

Gosh, maybe at that point they'll be hockey markets, then. What a concept. Funny how that works, right?

At some point in time, every hockey market was a non-hockey market.

 

[TGWL]

That was the best I've seen Jones look in quite some time.

So...this contract is looking RealBad, huh?

It's a bit of an overpay but unless he gets hurt he'll be a solid guy on the top pairing for its duration. So not great but not horrible.

Yeah there's a chance his play will drop off but there's also a chance that he realizes the promise he had a few seasons ago.

Chigaco can suffer for all i care, they've had their cups.

I know it’s the trendy to thing to dump on Jones these days, but he’s honestly been pretty good.

6 points in 7 games and moves the puck very well. Unfortunately he’s on a team with the worst coach in the league and paired with CDH who has fallen off a cliff.

The trade and signing are never going to be steals, but I’m not unhappy with his play. He’s working his ass off.

OH he'll never reach the heights of a MORBID CIDER

 

[MBH]

Why didn't Bowman do the Hawks a favor and fire Colliton before he left.

With this contract he needs to play like a franchise Dman

If Bowman was still around there'd be zero chance of Colliton being fired. They were joined at the hip.

Yea like that Nurse fella!

 

[Castle8130]

Are there any take backs from this trade and sign?

He's a disaster.
As much as this roster is downgraded, it's still better than they perform.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I think the only solution for him is try playing him at forward. He's still good offensively. Defensively he's painful to watch now.

Who are we talking about now, Gustafsson?

(Checks thread) Oh my god you're actually talking about Seth Jones. Seth Jones isn't hard to watch, he's a decent, relatively careful defender. Doesn't make many mistakes.

How can one poster have this many bad takes?

 

[Ace]

I don’t know who could have possibly predicted this would be a bad deal.

*rereads thread*

oh….everybody.

 

[Holls Blackmail]

Going to be the worst contract in the league in a year or two.

Not even close. Seth Jones is a good but not great D-man, and that makes him overpaid, but you have to remember that there are players making that sort of money who aren't even average at what they do.

Worst trade in less than a year

"Of the 5 goals scored in our 5-4 OT win over the Avs earlier this evening, 4 (including our first of the evening and the GWG) were scored by guys we got as a result of picks from the Seth Jones trade. Two by Cole Sillinger and two by Jake Bean. Sillinger also had an assist on Bean's OT GWG."

......and they get another 1st

Honestly, I didn't post that here because this thread is ostemsibly about the Jones extension, not the trade.

As long as Jeff Skinner is signed he'll continue to be the worst contract in the league.

When I saw the trade, then the contract, I was blown away!

Perhaps their crummy market dictates it, but the Blue Jackets are quite good with asset management, probably the best in the league. Gotta give them credit.

Jarmo also is quite good at fleecing the Blackhawks or at least Stan Bowman. I hate him as a Blackhawks fan which tells you that Jarmo is great at winning trades. Columbus could be pretty exciting in a few years. I’m hoping Jones can be a 1D for us so it ends up not being a lopsided trade. The fact that he got Bean from the 2nd he stole from us is just icing on the cake.
