Confirmed with Link: [FLA/CHI] Seth Jones (25% retained) and 2026 4th round pick for 2027 1st round pick and Spencer Knight

[Two4Fighting]

I’ll give Zito one thing, this guy has ice in his veins. I guess that’s what makes him one of the best GMs in the league. But it hurts my soul to lose Knight, I really liked him. I’ll be rooting for him in Chicago.

Do we let Ekblad go in free agency? Or Bennett? Or does Zito move someone at the draft to open up more cap space?

Sourdif is NHL ready imo, maybe he moves someone like Rodrigues or Lustorainen to free up more space?

In my opinion, this puts pressure on Ekblad aspirations to ask for a big payday, we have options now.

I agree, I actually think this will fastrack his development into a great starter.



Well, agility is always a problem for bigger players, but as for big D, I'd say he's the most agile in the league. I can't agree with your assessment. I mean is he Hughes, Makar, etc ? No, but he doesn't have to be. He's got range and is very skilled.

Watch him score tonight, and then everyone on this board will love Jones for one day, that is how it is here.

Curious to see where Seth Jones will rank amongst the TDL acquisitions

So far it's:

1. Teddy Purcell
2. Jiri Hudler
3. Jakub Kindl
4. Chiarot
5. Luongo
6. Jagr
7. Vanek
8.Giroux
9. Haula
10. Tarasenko


Will Seth be able to crack the top 10? definitely not top 5.

Wow, we've come a long way

Oh, Captain ! My Captain !!

Barky is the greatest Panther ever. EEEEEEEEEEE-EVER !!

I know you're taking the piss, but don't mock my crush. Just look at that lovely, sweet and very sweaty man.

Ahem, about Seth Jones. Cautiously optimistic but nervous about five years unproven with a NMC. Back to staring at our captain again...

 

[CHGoalie27]

Always respect your opinion and hope you're right about all of it.

Back atcha and same

If we didn't make a move, I already felt most confident in a repeat. Now we have an elite power play QB who expressed excitement over his new team's reputation for physicality??
Like do i start camping outside the elbo room now??
Team health is my *only* concern, knock on wood, what a luxury i never thought we'd have.

Bill f***ing Zito Jr.

Not mocking.

That interview was everything Barky is... Excited and pumping the new guy... Respecting and caring for the kid out...

Always about the team. Always the best guy.

And to say I was pissed we didn't take Seth in 2013 !

I didn't believe in that shy finnish kid...

Happy I was wrong. But now I want to see Seth a champion !

So I won't settle for one Cup during that window... Zito made it possible and got me a believer again.

Sasha stating as much too, you could feel the captain believing again that we are the best team in the League and that it will be Cup or bust again this year, as if they needed to be reminded of it... We will be SCARY.

Phew!!! Sorry I doubted you... Barky is indeed THE BEST!!

And yes, cross fingers that we win multiple cups over the next few years.

Just this next one would be cool… With beating Tampa on the way, we would claim the Big Brother Throne for good, with no argument possible, for the next decade IMO.

Three consecutive Finals, two Cups… And no COVID needed…

its crazy our top6 forwards and top4 defense will be locked on next five runs

Spencer having a solid game through 2 periods. Hawks up 3-1 and Spencer has stopped 25/26.

Wish him nothing but the best. Still the think he’s going to be a great one.

 

[Chino Oscar]

Spencer with a great game tonight. 1st star of the game. Good for him, wish him nothing but the best.

The reason to really like this trade is Jones ability to skate. Him and Ekblad are same size but the skating is night and day and when you are betting on these guys how they’ll handle their 30’s buy skating ability

Another reason is this gives them leverage over Ekblad. Prior to Jones Ekblad could walk into the negotiation room and say you have nothing after me at RD and hand him a retirement contract
