If Jones doesnt want to sign long term

Created by: Jacketsman61
Team: 2021-22 Columbus Blue Jackets
Initial Creation Date: Apr. 17, 2021
Published: Apr. 17, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Not sure if Jones would approve a trade to Winnipeg but let’s just say he agrees to a sign and trade. Winnipeg would have to pay a steep price but this would solve a lot of defense issues and give them their cornerstone d-man they have needed. The Jackets get a highly talented Heinola and also big time center prospect in Perfetti. Perfetti may end up at wing but the Jackets need a young offensive talent.

The Edmonton trade gives the Oilers cap space and a goaltender on the cheap allowing them to possibly sign RNH to an extension. Jackets take the Neal contract and get a budding young prospect in return.

    Jones is the most overrated player in the entire NHL. there’s no way any team gives you that return.

    Jets pass. That is too rich of a package to send and I can't see the Jets doing that.

    You Toronto fans are literally the only ones who think he is overrated, which he is not.

    I can't see the Jackets offering or Laine accepting a 6yr deal. The most likely path forward is a 1yr bridge at or slightly above is $7.5 million qualifying offer.

    I'm an Oilers fan I think he's been pretty overrated. It's cooled down a bit now but he isn't as elite as his reputation. I can't any team paying that much for him. Not many players get that sort of return to begin with. I'm sure teams will make offers but I doubt he gets a return that large.

    Also, not sure if EDM makes that trade. Holland said he won't spend assets to clear cap. So take Neal and a first out. Then it's RL and a 5th. I mean both teams could say no there. But there will be starting caliber goalies in FA so why losing a budding prospect. Not to mention I've seen CLB fans saying Korpi has fallen out of favour and wouldn't cost much to acquire at this point. His numbers are worse then Koskis.

    Also who is CLB protecting?

    You can probably get perfetti + 2nd for Jones (with extension) but no team should want to give Seth Jones a long term deal. He’s a 2nd pairing D at best right now and he’ll want to be paid as a #1

    No one is ever sending a package like that for a soon to be UFA after SJ handed OTT Stützle.

    Agreed. Stützle for Karlsson was nasty and he was actually good before he was traded.

    If Jones were smart he’d resign in Columbus as they would likely be willing to pay more for him than anyone else.

    That being said that is an overpayment for Jones, though all the haters on here don’t watch him play they just look at the stats, only advanced stats, which for Jones they suck and don’t tell his actual skill.

    You’re not getting both perfetti and hienola. Plus adding a 1st and 2nd. This isn’t eichel

    Edmonton wouldn’t pay that for merzlikins. They also are not going to pay picks to move Neal.

    There's no point in discussing Jones trades on here, because he's been presented with the Official Jack Johnson Memorial Whipping Boy Status by advanced stats hangers-on and so all you'll get is a lot of "LOL OVURRATID DURR".

    The problem is, most of the people on here don’t see things that GMs in real life see. The intangibles, the on ice impacts, the locker room impact, and just sheer performance in clutch situations. Jones is also a right handed shot which is in short supply around the league. Teams pay a premium for players like that.
