Speculation: Seth Jones says he's talking with the Blackhawks about the possibility of a trade

[Sinbad]

Wow at least five more years at $9.5M is alot. Unless for some strange reason he mutually agrees to end his contract. Why did he sign such a long contract to begin with in Chicago

I can think of $76m reasons why he signed such a long contract, it’s not that difficult to figure out.

OPTION 4

To Chicago:

-Conor Sheary
-Conor Geekie
-the rights to Isaac Howard

To Tampa:

-Seth Jones (@50% retention)
-Lukas Reichel
-2025 Dallas 2nd round pick

Its not at all realistic to believe the Hawks are retaining $4.75M over the next 5 years

It is if you view Geekie and Howard as core building blocks

BlackHawk fans throw us a deal to Pittsburgh on us taking on all of Jones contract

 

[Sinbad]

You really think the hawks will be in the playoffs in 2-3 years? I’d say 5-7 years until playoffs. Have you seen that roster? They’ll need time to draft and develop unless they get a huge free agent signing that might just make them a bubble team. They need to hope for a Matthew’s / mcdavid type player ( very good very early ) to propel them out of this abyss.

“They’ll need time to draft”

I get you may not be a Hawks fan but then why enter a Hawks thread without trying to educate yourself first?

In the past three drafts Chicago has had:
8 - 1st round picks with two more this year.
5 - 2nd round picks with two more this year.
8 - 3rd round picks with one more this year.

The drafting began a few years ago, many of those players have begun to make their way through the system an will be joined by many more in another season or two.

And yes, they also have a ton of cap space moving forward to go big game hunting in free agency.

Friedman was on Futa show today said Florida be good fit for Jones.

Seems like that would be a off season type of deal

 

[Kevin Musto]

He won't waive for a non-contender

It was already agreed upon.

Hawks:
Karlsson

Pens:
Jones

then

Stars;
Karlsson 50%

Hawks:
Picks
Prospects
etc

Tkachuk possible out to playoffs.

Jones already stated theat he would waive his NTC and would be willing to go back to Clumbus to play with Werenski. He wants out badly and wants to play in the playoffs which could be any of the 10 to 12 teams or so that are playoff bound.

what does that have to do with Pittsburgh?

 

[puterwiz53]

He will not go to Pittsburgh or any other team unlikely to make the playoffs.

I would rather get assets for Karlsson then just take on Jones.

So unless something is coming Pittsburghs way I pass.

The idea is not having to retain any money, younger and getting back a better fit on the back end.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

I’m not against it for the right deal. Our only true RHD is Ekblad and so far he’s UFA next season with no news about extension talks

 

[KrisLetAngry]

I get the idea. I disagree with the idea.

I get taking on Jones and asking another team to retain on Karlsson would not get as much. I would rather the Penguins retain on Karlsson and get assets if we are only getting Jones.

Just my opinion

 

[Behn Wilson]

He wants out badly and wants to play in the playoffs which could be any of the 10 to 12 teams or so that are playoff bound.

I think it is more he realized he has worn out his welcome here and the fans amd media have turned on him.

Gives less than full effort more nights than not, it is his own fault

 

[BHawk21]

IMO Logical Options-

Columbus
Dallas
Florida
Colorado

Longshots

Ottawa
LA
Toronto
Detriot
Tampa

Rantanen decision comes 1sts and then teams will start to make moves. You would figure Florida Dallas or Colorado would want him for a playoff run this year Columbus shouldnt matter going into the offseason.

 

[ItsFineImFine]

I'm not sure he's worth 50% retained atm maybe closer to 60-70% retained.

But then again the Hawks make everyone look worse than they are who knows.

Carolina could be a likely option too imo.

 

[belfour30]

With Florida, Hawks could take Ekblad and flip him as a rental.

Doubt Ekblad would waive

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

With Florida, Hawks could take Ekblad and flip him as a rental.

If Tkachuk is out Florida doesn't need the cap space and will probably just let Ekblad walk in the summer

Florida is not getting rid of Ekblad this season lol
