CHI declines. They aren't going to stick a fork in the rebuild to add Marner who is likely to walk in two years. They also aren't likely to give up a first round pick for any reason. There is zero desperation to move Raddysh or Jones. Contrary to popular belief, Jones is a good defenseman, and he will be even better as the team gets better. The problem was never Jones himself, it was that we were supposed to be entering a rebuild when Bowman suddenly sold the farm to add Jones and then gave him a gigantic contract. But, if they can't recoup on him in a trade, he will just play out the rest of his contract in CHI, and hopefully CHI will be good again while he is still here.
