[Hawkaholic]

He’s great but sucks. Got it.

"Who thinks abstractly? The uneducated, not the educated. Good society does not think abstractly because it is too easy, because it is too lowly..."
"I have only to adduce examples for my proposition: everybody will grant that they confirm it. A murderer is led to the place of execution. For the common populace he is nothing but a murderer. Ladies perhaps remark that he is a strong, handsome, interesting man. The populace finds this remark terrible: What? A murderer handsome? How can one think so wickedly and call a murderer handsome; no doubt, you yourselves are something not much better!"
"This is abstract thinking: to see nothing in the murderer except the abstract fact that he is a murderer, and to annul all other human essence in him with this simple quality."

I think Jones is probably 15-20 in terms of RHD.

 

[GIADF]

Wouldn’t mind taking a run at Nelson, Tavares, Duchene if that’s the term. I kind of doubt that we will be able to sign any of those though. They have to have cup aspirations no?

Blehhhhh. At that point I'd rather give up a few more years to someone else like Boeser, Bennett, or Ehlers. Give Bedard and others an actual decent linemate to play with instead of old dudes who are only coming here because the Hawks are the highest bigger.

Hes better then Pionk Ekblad and Karlsson right now. IMO

 

[BobbyJet]

Is it my imagination or is Seth skating better since returning from his injury. I mean, way better. He has a jump in his step that hasn't been present for a while.

Yeah certainly arguments to be made, I don't think he's "at worst 10th" though. You'd have to make very generous arguments and assumptions about his play on a better team to get there.

Ah I didnt see someone make that top 10 argument.

Seth Jones is definitely playing a lot better but it could be that he is looking for a trade to a team competing for Lord Stanley. Players will elevate thir play if they desire to be traded to a contender. I do hope he gets trade by the deadline.

A deadline trade will be challenging.

He'll be way easier to move in the offseason when everyone gets a free 7M increase in cap space. Basically any roster would be able to add him.

Deadline gets tricky without retention. Colorado is the easiest team to work with.
