I’m going to bed now so I look forward to waking up to many civil comments either telling me this is a good trade or giving me very kind constructive criticism in a civil manner, as is always the case on capfriendly’s site.

Jones also said that he plan on testing free agency, So Jones isn't going to sign an extension with the team he's dealt to. And Kuznetsov doesn't get Jones 1 for 1 anyways.

Jones never said he wasn't coming back to cbj

CBJ clear a spot to sign Hamilton while he's available, and get a problem-child #1C with the same cap hit as a Nuge or Danault, but less term. Win.

WSH get some depth at RD, and stop having the coach's relationship with a star player be a sideshow. Slight win, if they can afford to re-sign Jones. The above team would need the salary cap to go up about $3M for that to work without additional moves.

Granlund at #1C is very weak, but might be an okay stopgap if McMichael or Lapierre is really going to develop into a top six C? That 2nd line is still going to eat a ton of minutes, so the team can get away with it and make the playoffs, but they may end up renting a center at the deadline to contend.

Kuzy with is a borderline dump, how does he get Jones???

Your team kicks goalies and gets opponents fined for it. Trouba is a dump. Kuznetsov is a #1C whose coach is a d*ck.

If that makes you feel better, sure. Good luck selling that potion though...

I mean, you've got Rangers fans posting trades for Kuznetsov every day, and other Rangers fans trolling Kuznetsov threads claiming he's worthless. Who are you going to believe? The team that kicks goalies after the whistle, and blames Tom Wilson for fighting them? Or the team that blames the league for not suspending Tom Wilson indefinitely after Panarin jumped on his back while he was already fighting Strome? I think Columbus knows Kuznetsov tried drugs in 2018 and was late to a team meeting in 2020. They also know he has three 70 point seasons and four years left at a lower cap hit than they'd have to give RNH seven years of. It's totally their call.

You just blew the tranny by throwing it in reverse, with blinders on! You've convinced yourself that, but rest of the world comprehended the sad reality. Also, 90% of stuff never gets out until it gets out of control. Organizations are well equipped in professionalism, pr, phys & mental health, life coaching... same thing with Tony "stink follows" Deahole. Now your team is publicly saying it's time for him to go.
Discard the many bad posts by our (& all) fan base that ignore future cap situation. NYR cannot/will not take on RNH @7X7m or Cokesnetsoff @4x7.8m. Some desperate gm will, but I wouldn't expect a Seth Jones in return?!

The Rangers are my team? Cool. I'll take it. I do remember the Rangers saying Deangelo will not play another game in a Rangers jersey. I also remember WSH saying they're always open to offers on any player if it makes their team better, and if it makes sense. Do you hear the difference between those two statements? Do you see the difference between a guy who went -5 in one game and then beat up a teammate and a guy who led the playoffs in points, led his team to its only championship ever, and then celebrated by partying too hard? Talk all you want about how he also celebrates goals by flapping his arms like a bird, but I just don't see that as a significant mental health issue. I am also aware that he was late to a meeting while helping a rookie who doesn't speak much English get to the meeting. I'd call that leadership.

I'm honestly ambivalent about the possibility of Kuznetsov over here because of those off-ice stories. What we've heard is worrisome; what we've undoubtedly not heard that led to the degree of animosity that's there has me seriously concerned.

Jones 1-for-1 is probably not a thing, tho; the trade target for him is going to probably involve futures.

Seth Jones is pretty overrated and his next contact will cripple Washington with the flat Cap.
With people calling Kuzy “damage goods” He still would be CBJ’s best forward.
