Description

The easy answer of course is no...BUT HEAR ME OUT. Nobody wants him for 8 years at $9.5M, I get it. I certainly don't. BUT...I chose NJD because they have Hischier, Hughes, and Dougie committed long term already and Subban is coming off the books. They don't/won't have too many high profile RFAs that will cost them tons of money until probably Luke Hughes in 4 years. They certainly have the flexibility to bring him in with some retention and he would be a great addition/upgrade the D corps.

NJD is a younger, up and coming team. With Dougie and Seth in the fold and then adding Luke Hughes, they can be a defensive force while their young guy's offense starts to come around.

Realistically, who can take on a Seth Jones trade?

Nobody wants him at 8.5 for 8 years I don’t think either

You're not getting a top 10 pick for him

No one wants his contract

Probably not. But also, we're sitting behind a computer, real GMs aren't. They have real jobs and real teams to manage and contract aside, Seth Jones is a hell of a hockey player. There might be someone in real life who would be willing to take him if they're on the hot seat or something like Bowman did.

If the Devils trade for Seth Jones I might pick a new team (not really but he's gotta have a top 5 worst deal in the league and has been outright bad in past years)

Never say never. CBJ got a #12 overall AND a top 10 pick for him. Considering that, this asking price is fair.
