Seth Jones: Reality Check

[CallMeShaft]

Im glad you could all come around to seeing it my way.

He's a good player that was playing bad at one point this season. We know he's a good player. The complicated feelings are B*wman's fault, which will sadly follow him in his tenure here. But yeah I'd sell high.

Apparently it’s strongly speculated he’s going to be traded to Dallas. Hawks retain and get some value back. I wouldn’t hate it.

Seems like he was traded for and signed to get the max out of his first 3 or so years here while the Bowman Hawks attempted more playoff runs at the tail of the Toews and Kane era. Since we didn’t get that or anything close to it, and based on what we’ve seen of him so far, I’m fine trading him and not suffering through the back half of his contract.

With the cap going up I don’t care if it’s 50% retention but the assets better be representative of that.

You do realize that all teams caps go up too right? Having 5 million in dead cap for the next 6 years is huge if you are serious team that wants to win the cup, that’s good second line player money or 2nd pairing D. I love how people just say that as if it has no effect on the team just because “the cap is gonna go up” lol
