Seth Jones is still good. And if they retained quite a bit. Would be a GARGANTUAN improvement on Zaitsev and Hamonic
A lot of the advanced stats say otherwise. Seems to show a pretty significant decrease after 2017/2018. He had a nice bounce back year last year but this year he is displaying career lows in advance stats. A lot of blackhawk fans dont seem to like his play either they are just realistic in that they would most likely have to keep him for a bit since he is signed until 35, with a lot of bonus money up front.

Just as a quick display
Corsi For: 43.5 %
Fenwick For: 44.5 %

CF: 40.9%
FF: 40.5%

CF: 45.4%
FF: 44.5%

One of these defenceman is Seth Jones. The others are Zaitsev and Hamonic. All three are not great at all but Jones isnt even the best one of the three haha let alone worth all that extra money
 
Nick Paul is so big and so girthy that the hole he left in the lineup will never be filled.
I used to like when they put Paul with Brady for a few shifts and they would regain physical control and be a menace on the forecheck. And Kastelic was in that role the other day. Playing with Brady. He seems to be making a case that he could take the Nick Paul role. Maybe not quite there yet but i like how he's coming along.

You should say what the controls you are using in Your stats. Looks like all strengths. So numbers are skewed , as the Sens players play PK not PP.

Should use 5 on 5, or even strengths, and per 60 numbers to get a real feel, and more accurate number.

Or Hamonic is just over 60% CF/60 for 5 on 5
And just under 60% for CA/60
 
I think it would be overkill unless you get him at 5mill or less which seems impossible and why convos probably got no where
Overkill as in we have too many good d men?

Chicago is an unmitigated disaster. If you don’t think he’s an improvement then alright. I think at 6 he’s a good add.

Too true. We lost more than just a hockey player.

Kastelic and Paul would have been a great physical duo in the bottom 6.

Have you seen Jones’ contract? 12.5, 12.5, 10.5 over the next 3 years. Even at 33% retained that’s huge dollars. Getting Chicago to retain for SEVEN years would cost a ton of assets capital. The contract is also buyout proof later on so nice he has a 5M SB every year.
 
Weren’t we the runner up for Craig Smith when he hit the UFA market a couple of years ago?

Wouldn’t mind taking on a sweetener (draft pick) to take on Smiths cap hit for the rest of the year, and he can also help us in the bottom 6.

Not a terrible idea but I doubt we can add contracts.

Why would Dorion even ask Chicago about Jones when he knows the salary dollars to be paid?
 
ya both Jones and Karlsson would have to come with major retention

which is probably why they haven't been traded
Perhaps Dorion is going to "sell" our 1st round pick in 2023 for immediate help on D such as for Seth Jones with 50% salary retained by Chicago or Erik Karlsson with 50% salary retained by SJ.
 
I had assumed that too but it seems at odds with the idea that we called about Jones.
Hope that isn't true (I could see this as being bogus pretty easily).

Jones is 28 and that contract runs to the end of 2030.

Thank god Jones has a NMC.

Let's just get Zub and JBD back into the lineup and finish the year. Then, with new owners, let's try to get Zub signed and/or be active in free agency.

The possibility of a Dorion Hail-Mary desperation trade is very worrisome.

I like Jones, and think he's better than the fancy stats and general consensus these days suggest but he probably has one of the worst contracts out there so I have very little interest in him.

I don't think we need a panic trade. Our core is still young. We will get Zub & JBD back & then we can see where we are at. JMHO, but some patience right now will pay dividends I think. I have to wonder about the veracity of that info from Friedman.

Your probably right that Jones is better than his advanced stats. Can't say I've watched many Hawks games this year though. Just too many other teams that interest me more this year.

Sounds like Friedman click bait to me, I dunno....

If we could get either of them at 50% retained it would be an absolute no brainer. These guys could both be top pairing guys on a contender if they were on sweetheart contracts.

But I would eat my hat if any team in the modern day eats 50% of a long term contract (of a star player that can still play well) for one single 1st round pick. Just not happening. Especially because the team that acquires that player could easily retain another chunk of the contract, and get an absolutely massive return from the right team. It would dwarf what was paid for them in an exponential way, imo.

A desperate contender up against the cap would without a doubt bend over backwards for an impact dman that comes in at less than $5m per. Jones and Karlsson would help any contending team if they made $4-5m per instead. At that price you almost have to move someone else out to fit their dollars in. It's crazy good value in a league with a hard cap.

I agree the team doesn't need to make any panic moves but Dorion is probably feeling some pressure with new ownership on the way,

He is on a very bad team. Come on he didn't just forget how to play the game. Comparing Jones to Zaitsev. Jesus. This is why advanced stats are not a primary tool to evaluate a player or team. You actually have to watch.

They likely want him to do nothing and won't let him do anything. There's probably very little pressure, that ship sailed for him a while ago. The only thing he should be allowed to do is extend Zub. The team shouldn't do a damn thing until that's done.

This is true if you’re committed to thinking something really bad is going to happen. Dorion isn’t giving up that pick. If we were in the playoffs safely right now…maybe. Probably. But right now. Doubt it
