Jones deal features him, final pick of first round tonight and a 6th to CHI for Boqvist, the 11th pick, a second-rounder and a 2022 first.
Jones will sign 8x9.5 on Wednesday

The double whammy. We paid him way too much $ and gave up WAY too much to get him. Fml

All of a sudden the bean counters come out of the woodwork with raised eyebrows and a frown.

Methinks they dost protest too much. Some team eventually would have given him that money anyway.

Want a wheelhorse defenceman you have to pay. Doughty, Josi, OEL, Pietrangelo, Ekblad, Karlsson, Vlasic, Spurg
eon, Chabot - prefer one of those?

- RickJ


LET THIS SINK IN AND QUIT COMPLAINING ABOUT JONES' MONEY: JONES MAY NOT EXACTLY BE THE ALL AROUND OFFENSiVE STUD, BUT HIS PRESENCE ON DEFENCE WILL COMPLIMENT THE FAST SKILLED OTHER DMEN WE HAVE AND OR WILL BRING IN. THE DEFENCE WILL BE A TEAM STRENGTH. Hopefully add Sillinger to go with Dach emerging + Kane and DeBrincat.

You want to compete in the NHL you need some nasty, especially required in playoffs. I would like some speed and toughness checking added to bottom six plus a Sillinger. This is close to happening.

Wake up and understand Stan's plan. He is smarter than you complainers. Look how good we could become. Stan is a misunderstood GM right now. No he has not made 100% good moves in the past. He did manage MANAGE to keep the core together and won three Cups

I choose to see Jones as part of the rebuild and for the team to become a playoff contender. Stan can borrow the Yes we can phrase

OK, go ahead and female dog. I know a few smart folks will see what I am saying

I bet Rick agrees. I bet Wiz does. And I bet Theo can see the points I make and hopefully agrees. As well there are others on this board who are pretty smart whom I think will see where I am coming from

Yeah, I use them too and he isn't good.
- Elbows15


we get it....you don't like the trade.

Is it because of the price paid, the extension, the player?

To me....Jones > boqvist......and we can watch how that plays out over the next 9 years.

Pick wise....see who columbus takes in those spots vs Hawks 32nd.....

And.....see if Bowman starts flipping some depth players for mid round picks.

IMO.....boqvist was never going to hit his ceiling for what he was hyped as. So IMO...Bowman did a great job selling high on Boqvist.

Without any doubt in my mind>

He was what made his partner Brad Werenski the point guy / shooter and Jones will now open up.


We won the lottery. this is Shea Weber but Hedman like becasue of visage.

and I am shocked StanBo if he held firm to his offer and that switch of picks IS why they were able, if this is the deal.

Chicago acquires Seth Jones, a 2021 first round pick (#32) from Columbus for Adam Boqvist and a 2021 first round pick (#11 overall), and a future lottery protected first and a second with a #32 first round this year back to Blackhawks.

Draft picks can develop. This guy is...

- wiz1901


An acceptable deal. Bunch of maybe traded for a proven NHL player who is an exceptional athlete in the prime of his physical abilities.

The monies are pretty crazy but I guess when you have the coin to spend...

Yeah, why use numbers when you can't understand them.


IF he was one of the best defenders in the league, his numbers would reflect that. They don't

- Elbows15

Could you post Erik Carlsson's numbers please for comparison purposes.

Bowman sh*t the bed for an overrated d-man. Kalynuk will be better than Jones.

Rebuilding teams should not be in the business of trading first round picks. If Stan added a second 1st round pick, that is inexcusable IMO.

Boqvist and MULTIPLE 1st round picks is absurd. And a 2nd too.

Why not go after someone like Hamilton and throw all that $$ at him instead of giving away all those assets, I just don’t get it…

Hawks are labeled as? The majority of posters poop on our team on a nightly basis. Now we are good?
- I Am The Breadman


Adding Jones and getting Toews back (hopefully) and a full season of Dach. Seems like some nice additions.

All the youngsters should improve too no? Full training camp, etc. Rosters always look better when you can slot guys down a line.

Cautiously optimistic.

- Elbows15

Come on now...there’s so many examples of a true #1 defenseman having a year or 2 that’s not consistent with the rest of his career, any elite position player for that matter. He didn’t forget how to play hockey. I just don’t get how people think he’s terrible!

Wonder if Stan tries to move-up from 32nd in tonight's draft.

Jones is gonna have to turn into Bobby Orr in order to justify this madness.
