Value of: Seth Jones to anywhere

[IceManCat]

To Chicago:

-Spencer Knight
-Mackie Samoskevich
-the rights to Matvei Shuravin

To Florida:

-Seth Jones (@50% retention)
-Arvid Soderblom
-Blackhawks 2025 2nd round pick
-Dallas 2025 2nd round pick

We give up our number one prospect with top line potential and future starting goalie for an overpaid, overrated middle six defender who can't defend. Astonishing trade.

Seth Jones for Huberdeau + 2026 1st

This is actually a good trade for both teams. Bedard gets his playmaker and the Flames are off the hook in just four years.

The overpaid portion of your critique is taken care of with the 50% retention. Knight could be that or could be nothing.

Why would Huberdeau waive to come to the Blackhawks? Or even Jones to Calgary come to think of it? Fresh media starts?

Anyways, that trade would just be gambling that the CGY pick is top 10 (if top 10 protected, forget it). Huberdeau has one more year and costs $1 million more. With Jones positional scarcity compared to an abundance of semi-productive wingers, I would not do it.

It's bad for Chicago.

Huberdeau makes more than Jones and has an extra year.

Chicago isn't trading a bad contract for a worse one.

lol yeah, Huberdeau is shooting double his career average, just to get to a 60 point pace with first line ice time.. turns 32 in the offseason and has 6 years left on a cap hit that's currently 13th highest of all players in the entire NHL

We live in a world where a 35 year old Chris Tanev gets a 6 year contract with a full NMC just so a playoff team can chase one year of a top 4 Righthanded Defenseman at a reasonable cap hit. Heck, Matt Dumba still secured an NHL contract this offseason. There's a reasonable chance Jones could get traded for nothing without retention, or for something decent with retention.

easy yes for Chicago

 

[stewy04]

Hawks are not retaining $4.75M for 5 years

$1.5-2M at most

What you propose is not realistic nor would Panthers do it

Also, the biggest issue with Jones is his full NMC

If you don't retain you keep. So.....
