Proposal: Seth Jones to Toronto

[HC7]

Way to expensive. Strong Pass. I'd consider Dewar, Holmberg, 2027 2 round pick, 2026 2nd round pick.

I'd do that if Rielly were included. I doubt you get 2 2nds for Jones without retaining or taking something back.

LMAO

Rielly > Seth Jones

It hilarious that toronto gives up the better player on a much better contract and also adds "premium"

LOL

It's pretty wild with similar PP time that Rielly only has 2 more points in 17 more games, and a worse +/-, while playing on a much much better team. And Rielly is LHD, of which there are plentiful and doesn't PK, with Jones, who is RHD of which there are few, being over 6 months younger? Yeah, Jones definitely holds more value in a vacuum.

It's kind of hard to fathom how Rielly can be -14 when the Leafs other top four defensemen are +12, +15 and +16.

I imagine teams view Jones as a liability on his full cap hit. So either serious retention and/or bad cap hit going back. Similar to the Karlsson deal.

I don't see a "problem for problem" trade here. Seth Jones would be like the Patrik Laine trade on defense where I'm sure Chicago would just want a fresh start and nothing burdensome coming back. I could see a project Seth Jones being interesting in Toronto, but not like this.

Rielly is just having a slow start and an off season. He will rebound eventually. Overall Rielly is far superior to Jones. And once contract situation/AAV is taken into consideration Rielly is >>> Jones

P.S.

Jones

Rielly

Rielly just looks like a zombie this year and feels like every goal that goes in is followed up with a Rielly closeup looking at the scoreboard and video replay.

So the older, less positionally valuable player is performing worse despite being in a position he’d be expected to succeed more but hey… vibes.

does Jones have any positive value still? I feel like it all went out the window after he extended at 8m
How about you guys pay us to take him. actually wait.... nvm I dont want him at 8m

 

[T_Cage]

Seth Jones at Full hit is a negative asset. The anti-Leafism here is wild

At 50% I maybe do this, but it doesn't make sense to Chicago to retain that much. I don't see a good trade match here

Well first of all he makes 9.5.

Toronto: Seth Jones

Chicago: Morgan Rielly, 2026 1st OR Fraser Minten OR Easton Cowan

Change of scenery for Jones and Rielly. Toronto pays the premium.

We are taking Seth Jones' full contract AND you want us to throw in extra pieces?

No. Like, no. No.
