I dont like Jones buuut

That's a very reasonable offer

Ehh, I think with an extension it is more than fair, I just have a hard time justifying this when they could just take a run at Hamilton instead

I don't think Hamilton is going anywhere. Jones is by far our most reasonable option to fill the spot we need. Ellis would be good but I don't trust his injury history. Ekholm is another LHD. I don't see the the Wild and us being a fit for Dumba. Not many places to go to find a top pair RHD

I think that Dumba is a better fit for you because he's signed for another year and he'd cost less: I think Bill Guerin might really want to move up from one of their late firsts to 13th overall, so you wouldn't be losing a first-round pick. The outline would be something like Dumba and the Pittsburgh pick (25th or 26th depending upon whether Tampa or Carolina wins their series) for Frost or Allison plus the 13th pick.

As a Ranger fan, I would absolutely love if Philly brought in Jones.
