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

[Kaners Bald Spot]

From this Hawks fan's perspective, Bowman overpaid on the trade by the 2022 1st rounder and on the contract by 1.5M.

That sounds like a reasonable take.

If the trade price was Boqvist + 12thOA for Jones @ $8m, I think that's a fairly square deal. The Jackets still make out well if they draft Sillinger, but he wasn't in the trade, it was just a draft pick and who knows who the Hawks would have picked.

I'm assuming in that case the Hawks would have still taken Allan at 43.
