Look... IF TOR can ACTUALLY get their hands on a top 10 pick, I think CHI should be willing to discuss retention and bring the proposal to Jones to see what he thinks. As others have said CHI has no intent or need to move Jones contract, doing so would leave CHI with a giant hole in their roster, and Jones has declined trades to Canada in the past. If it were the end of his contract, I think you could make the argument that he could change his mind and be interested in going to Canada for a season or two as long as it is with a real contender, but 6 years might take a lot more convincing. So, don't insinuate that you are doing CHI a favor by trading for his contract, it's a complicated and nuanced situation that doesn't have a simple "yes or no" answer. Unlike some loud twitter CHI fans, many CHI fans on here and I genuinely believe Jones can be part of CHI's future and that CHI brass feels the same way.
