FuN reading the Panthers board after the 1st intermission. Lol

Kucherov walks Jones
Jones is slower than Ekblad
Trade for Karlsson

I used to give Jones the benefit of the doubt. I never liked how he presented himself on camera/in interviews. He always seemed disinterested and bored. However, as an introvert I understand that one could be different around others compared to the spotlight. But now that his play has clearly regressed, none of this can be ignored anymore. There just seem to be a lot of clues that he is not the leader we'd want him to be on this team. Why don't they play him with Vlasic anymore? Instead they are pairing him with... Brodie and Allan?? Also, I know I'm not the only one who notices Jones'...

I explain in my previous posts.

When you're one of the worst goalies in the league you get waived or not played at all sometimes. Vet or not. Anyone on a short term deal knows they have to perform in this league if they want to stay in it.

Cool.

Cool.

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure if the Hawks get Florida's 2026 1st round pick, they can use that as compensation over their own no?

No, all offersheet compensation has to be the teams own picks.

 

[Blackhawks26]

This team is so much better without Seth Jones.

I know it’s just a couple of games but they just look so much faster

 

[Beukeboom Fan]

That's correct. People absolutely ripped soda all season long and now Mrazek is the whipping boy. Crawford never saw massive criticism because they WON and a lot. I think you absolutely have it backwards. Playing for a crappy team is very difficult on a goalie. Getting beat down night after night, and having crappy stats despite playing well is very difficult for any player.

Soda last year and Mrazek this year were/are terrible. That's not being scapegoated because the Hawks were not good, it was the flipping truth.

If Knight can keep the Hawks in games by making the saves he should, that's all most reasonable people here are asking for. He doesn't have to be Hasek v2.0 for fans to appreciate him.

Knight is ELITE no question about it. Get this guy some players in front of him and give Bedard some linemates, then sit back and enjoy!

 

[CallMeShaft]

I'd like to thank Seth Jones for demanding a trade and helping us get Knight.

Knight's such a joy to watch and the team plays so much better without you, Seth. I thought you were being selfish going public with your trade demands, but now I know you wanted to do what was best for this team, which is you being off of it.

Maybe I won't boo you if I go to a game that you're playing in.

Spoiler

Actually, I'm still gonna boo ur ass.

 

[Fortyfives]

I hope this Knight kid works out. Then we can say it’s a good trade.

Seth Jones is no longer a Hawk. We can already say it is a good trade.

Too bad Foley isnt here to give him a Karpovtsev send off on air

 

[Callidusblackhawk]

I haven't.

I'm the only one here taking the wait and see approach.

It's good if Knight stays above .910 in his prime.

That didn't take long

 

[Panzerspitze]

Seth Jones thinks he signed in Chicago as a free agent?

 

[ploppsdman]

Absolutely worth rolling the dice on Knight. I was frustrated with not being involved in the Askarov trade but Knight is a solid consolation prize. Spencer has the most raw skill in the goalie room...we will see what happens.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Hawks probably would've did this deal for a lot less the way things were unfolding, unless they just planned to tell Seth play or get sent home

Consolation prize? Knight has already been much better in the NHL than Askarov while they are only one year apart in both the draft and in age. Draft pedigree and performance in junior tournaments can only prop up Askarovs value as the best goalie prospect for so long.

 

[Darkstar]

Honestly, I've always liked Knight and Wallstedt as prospects more than Askarov.

 

[Malagahawks]

I have been trying not to hold any negative feelings towards him because I don't blame him for being unhappy here, but honestly what a dork. He was getting paid like Cale Makar to be a mediocre minutes eater on a bottom feeder team. Spare us the martyr narrative

I've had my fair share of rants as a bellweather fan but didn't particularly zero in on Jones and his struggles.
I noticed some gaping errors occasionally on the highlights but chose to focus on the team as a whole.
Having said that, if he is hoing to die on the "martyr" then it was only going to be a matter of time before the divorcie ended in a very nasty way.
