Maybe we should keep him around. Need more forward thinkers like this in the organization.

Flyers gonna trade away this toxicity for the culture.

Everyone knows preventing goals is honorable. If your team prevents the other team from scoring on 50 chances but they only had to prevent you from scoring on one chance, then you've scored a massive cultural victory. You may have lost 5-0, but think of everything you PREVENTED. Eventually the universe must smile upon this, right!? Right????????????????????

Torts disagrees with this.

How soon till Torts wants him gone for talking about goal scoring?

Hot Rod and Fisto will not be traded, this is a lock.

 

[BernieParent]

Consider the source, but...

Why, this is absolutely SHOCKING news!

 

[trostol]

But...but playoff warrior and all that jazz

I already put in vacation time for the trade deadline, I'm ready to be disappointed yet again

Seth Jones is 30 years old. He's better than being on that Hawks team shows, but I'd still stay away, especially at that contract.

You can only leverage his strengths better to a point, he is what he is at this point in his career.

Now, if Chicago wants to retain 50% of that contract, that's a whole nother discussion.

Canes will need to replace Burns as well, though they'll likely snag Karlsson at a discount if he becomes available before touching Jones. Unless Isles will trade inside the division and give them Dobson.

With Nikishin coming up, do they really have to do anything?

They didn't have to bring in Rantanen either, yet they chose to and I'm inclined to believe they will be one of the more active teams going forward as well.

If anybody is gonna rehab him it would be Florida. He’s not bad & there’s some salvageable things there in general. I just can’t take on that contract though. He’s not nearly worth the cap hit or the length.

The Jones FA period was so bizarre. So many guys bent over backwards to justify paying a blatant non-#1 like he's a #1. Before their teams had even done it.

Its funny how much people bank on draft "pedigree." I remember day of the draft ESPN talking about how Seth Jones was likely to go number 1, and it would be historic, etc. A lot of people really thought it was a coin flip at number 1.

If he went number ... 19 that year, hell, maybe even number 9 with less hype, i think people would have looked at Jones much differently.

KK is worse than Eklund. He doesn't know jack.

Remember: the Flyers were one of his major suitors. Fletcher really wanted him. When he couldn’t trade for him is when he pivoted back to Ristolainen.
