Jones open to/working with Blackhawks on trade

[bwana63]

At least it opens up to about 10 to 12 teams that are playoff bound. Davidson needs to sit back and wait for the best offer. Competition amongst interested teams is good and any team that wants him bad enough will ante up.

don't think Jones will waive for every playoff team. if a deal is done, the haul here is unloading Jones (which was largely a pipe dream a short time ago). sure, they'll get a late 1st + prospects/later picks, but still its all about unloading Jones

for Bedard I would like to snag Kent Johnson from the Blue Jackets.

Lol me too but that isn't happening.

When we trade Jones I have no earthly idea how Davidson is going to get this team to the cap floor. We have like 45 mill on books next year and the cap floor is gonna be 71 or something. And they have youths for all spots.

That’s like 2 Mitch Marner’s of space to reach THE FLOOR.

Jones isn't going back to Columbus. No how, no way.

We could sign a Duchene or Tavares to a meaty 2 year contract or something like that.

Also if there are any teams looking to dump contracts that aren't too long, we could be compensated to take them on.

We’d need to sign both to meaty contracts. Altho my strategy has always been to sign Rantanen or Marner to a 1 year or 2 year 20 million per year contract. Just be toxic.

Marner and Rantanen will be looking for 7 year contracts.

It makes more sense to do big short-term contracts for guys around 35 that are still playing at a high level.

Should offer max deals for 3 years. See what happens

Ever since Heiskanen went down I thought "maybe?" That's a huge loss.

But it seems Seth's camp feels the need to get the ball rolling and I'm not sure how to interpret that but gut feeling says the phones haven't been ringing all that much. Really hoping this stretch of recent positive play had things on the upswing.

Another solution would be to get an LTIR guy like Landeskog. There are negatives to doing that long term.

Seth Jones requests trade*

Me: “yes”

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Jones is still a toxic presence. I will not hear otherwise.
