tan Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) Oliver Ekman-Larsson Defense -- shoots LBorn Jul 17 1991 -- Karlskrona, Sweden [31 yrs. ago] Height 6.02 -- Weight 200 [188 cm/91 kg] Cap Hit of $7,250,000 to 2026-27 (UFA) Seth Jones Defense -- shoots RBorn Oct 3 1994 -- Arlington, TX [28 yrs. ago] Height 6.04 -- Weight 213 [193 cm/97 kg] Cap Hit of $9,500,000 to 2029-30 (UFA) Seth Jones is 28 year old. He doesn't fit with CHI rebuild time line and it costs too much money to keep him for nothing in the next 3-4 years. He is wasting his prime time and no cup hope till 33-35 year old only if CHI can draft Towes/Kane etc. quality prospect again. Maybe CHI should move him and regain some cap flexiblity? Shall we do it? add sweetener? Edited March 17, 2023 by tan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well try and get Nurse too while we're at it 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJockitch Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) He used to be a tough dynamic d-man. Haven’t seen him much last couple of years. It just bugs me when they write 6’4” as 6.04ft. Edited March 17, 2023 by DrJockitch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cripplereh Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) If they pay half his salary straight across trade then yes do it.If not they can pound sand. Edited March 17, 2023 by cripplereh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 If they'd eat 1-1.5 mill(balancing both player's AAV), would prob consider it. At least as some kinda' basis to explore... Could see QH & Jones as a pretty formidable pairing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already proposed a similar deal to Chicago and in return we get Connor Murphy. But Chicago probably doesn't bite on that. But to get rid of Jones and his $9.5 million contract for 7 more years, I can see them being interested. Question is, will OEL go to Chicago? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Lasso Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I’m curious about PA’s confidence in both internal (buyout/LTIR) and external options to clear cap. External options imply he has the bones of a deal or two in place. It’s possible other GM’s have expressed interest in an off-season trade for Myers, Boeser, Garland,etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of those two, or both are going to be the difference makers moving forward. Wasted cap space. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones us a complimentary player. He would be in a supporting role. Just buyout OEL and trade for Tanev back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the perfect partner for Hughes in Tanev. We could have just kept him at 4x4. Nope. We went to Schmidt at 6 and then OEL at 7.2. Imagine going to Jones at 9.5. More than twice what Tanev would have signed for to stay. Benning very much struggled with identifying pro talent. I’m confident the new guys would never go for Jones. They are way too smart. They will either play OEL with Hronek and hope the latter can carry OEL. Or they will buyout OEL because they believe he just can’t contribute anymore. And what he provides can be replaced by Brisebois for 750 k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither is Nurse. My point was, these guys are very fortunate that they suckered their teams into paying them that money. They should thank their lucky stars. They're not that good. At all. Quinn Hughes is elite. They are not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
