Jones open to/working with Blackhawks on trade

[Mrfenn92]

On 32 thoughts this morning, Friedman insinuating that the locker room and management are not happy with Jones right now. So yeah we were right about him being toxic.

Still, they’ve said they’ll try to make a deal work, but it’s complicated, so that’s frustrating.

I think it’s his agent and his way to get moved.

dude is a flaming asshole. I get that management needs to showcase him in order to move him but his teammates know he is a selfish asshole who would rather fire puck into defender shin pads then pass to Bedard on PP. That type of shit doesn't go unnoticed in locker room

Do we think there might be any pressure to move him before the draft? Seems we are looking for young NHL talent in return…possibly someone to play with Bedard?

We know KD has a ton of pressure to get CB some help this off season. Whether it be through trade, FA, or draft. If we acquire a young high end FWD by trading Jones, there’s less pressure to select Misa/another FWD over Schaefer/another D if we happen to get lucky enough to have our pick. Also less pressure to make a big splash in FA this off season.

One forward doesn’t instantly mean passing on Misa there is still second line to address our forward group needs a lot of help especially if you don’t think Bedard can stick it out as a C
