Speculation: Potential TDL adds we can get?

I don’t want Seth Jones.

Even at 50% retained, he’s not worth what we’d have to give up

I’m not against it if it’s a steal. 50% retained for Rodrigues and a 1st? I’d think about it. Throw in Sourdif or something

He hasn’t been on a good team his entire career and he’s signed for a while. RHD on the second pairing which is the biggest need now and in the future since we don’t know if Ekblad is coming back

I’ll probably quit watching if we traded away Samo for Jones. That move ain’t it

No way he trades Samo for Jones. For Rantanen, yes. It would be something like Devine+Sourdif/Alscher probably, for a couple mil retained on Jones. I thought the move would be Jones. He's got almost the ppg Karlsson has while being far better defensively. He would look pretty good next to Mikkola.

Plus getting Jones would give us draft picks 2 and 4 from 2013 to go with 1, 2 and 4 from 2014. How can you pass that up? lol

He's a 2/3 defenseman on any team and he's a RD.

Cmon now, he’s a full defenseman, not just two thirds.

I think Jones would do great here with Mikkola. I just don’t expect him to be a first pair guy

No, but he would be great depth. Then our D would be close to the level it was last year, and I think our offense is better.

I’ve watched a decent number of Blackhawks games this season. I know their team is bad, I know all of that. But he’s just not that good. The Hawks do not have cap issues yet they’re looking for any way to get rid of him, which is a bad sign.

He’s not the worst defensemen or anything, but unless they’re gonna move him for breadcrumbs, I’d look elsewhere.

They're not looking to get rid of him necessarily. He's forcing their hand because he wants to go to a contender.

He was also traded for and extended by previous GM (Bowman) when team was hoping to retool on fly trading for Vezina winner and had what looked to be promising collection of youth at time in Debrincat, Dach, Kubalik, Strome, Hagel and Kurashev. Obviously Dach didn't work out, Strome left Chicago and found his greatest success, Hagel we traded for at time a haul (Still may work out given two 1st rounders were in deal), Debrincat priced himself out and didn't fit Davidson rebuild plan while Kurashev outside of last years fluke has struggled and Kubalik game fell off after his promising start in Chicago

Hawks struggled out of gate, Bowman was fired as a result of Beach report and Davidson late in year decided a full rebuild was plan and sold that to ownership trading Hagel, Debrincat and Dach for a bunch of picks that netted Hawks 4 1st rounders (Nazar, Korchinski, Moore and Boisvert came from picks acquired)

I mean if Jones is willing to expand his destinations, he is willing to go to and Hawks are willing to eat some of contract its perfect time to move him with cap going up and teams reportedly interested
