kloubek Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Jones is a good player. He will help the Hawks far more than Keith could at his age. But man, that's a lot to give up, and that's a TON to pay annually. I think he's a 7m player at best, and that's a long contract to boot. No thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This contract will age really poorly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For real, and there's no guarantee Chicago makes the playoffs in that division. Could be a high one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieVedder Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Hawks gave up way too much. Jones is good but he doesnt have that x factor that the Hedmans, Petros, Burns', Josis, Doughtys etc had where they carry their teams on their backs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Blackhawks just ruined their rebuild They should've stayed patient but they want to please Toews and Kane. I wouldn't trade either of those two but I'd certainly trade some of their other older guys. Plus they have that Seabrook albatross. It makes sense to rebuild through those bad Seabrook years but that's not what the vets want. Honestly, if that's not what they want I don't see much harm in trading them instead of moving all your good young players for fixes in the short-term. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dach is a beast and going to be one of the 10 best players in the game soon. Toews is still there..as is Kane and a Debrincat. True..they had no reason to make this trade. Boqvist is going to be awesoms in 2 yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already thought Boqvist was good enough I read someone say: Look at all this asset management by Columbus lol trading Johansen for Jones, then trading Jones for this ridiculous haul of goodies. I agree 1000% They know what they're doing there in CBJ with Davidson and Kekalainen. Chicago trying too hard to win again with their two stars. They traded Keith, it's time to turn the page. Trading Boqvist, two 1sts and a 2nd doesn't do that. Than they sign this behemoth of a contract. I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked PLD when everyone else thought he would take Puljujarvi and he was right with his selection. Then flips Dubois for BOTH Laine and Roslovic which looks great right now. He got Artemi Panarin and tyler motte in a trade with Chicago for Brandon Saad. Got Seth Jones for Ryan Johansen which again worked out great. This year he walks away with Adam Boqvist who will step in right away, Kent Johnson who might be the most skilled player in the draft, Cole Sillinger who is among the hardest working in the draft and could be a future captain, and Corson Ceulemans who could be steal. It's not his fault that Columbus is a destination that not alot of players want to stick around at, but he for damn sure does his best with what he has. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not his fault that Columbus is a destination that not alot of players want to stick around at, but he for damn sure does his best with what he has. Loading up at the deadline with Duchene, Dzingel and McQuaid wasn't the greatest idea but I can understand why he wanted to win in the present and drum up some interest from the fans. If I'm Columbus, I look at trading Laine. I don't know if he fits into the culture they're building. Laine for Eichel? Laine to Los Angeles? Laine to Carolina? Laine to Montreal? There are options out there. If I can get one of Los Angeles' centers, either Turcotte or Byfield. If I can get Jack Eichel or Rasmus Dahlin straight up. You get the picture. If Columbus can find a way to accommodate Laine's quirks, like his lack of willingness to play defense, they should totally keep him. Columbus is probably a bottom-feeder and I'm not sure if Patrik Laine wants to waste his prime years there when there are some great trade partners available in the western conference. Dallas? Minnesota for Kaprizov/Fiala? Los Angeles would be a shoe-in. We'd be out of consideration as would Calgary, Edmonton, Seattle, Vegas and Chicago unless they're willing to lose more assets. The rest of teams, like maybe Colorado who might need to replace Landeskog, would be clamoring at the chance. Imagine MacKinnon and Laine playing together? Money in the bank for the NHL. Meanwhile, Columbus replace Laine's star power with Kent Johnson and Cole Sillinger. Lots of thing percolating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Mad Bro? Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Can’t wrap my head around this one. First and second round pick this year. First round pick next year. First round pick (8oa) in Adam Boqvist for Jones. That’s absolute lunacy. Then to sign him to that contract is ridiculous.
