I have my doubts that Nashville would move Jones for Kessel straight up, far less adding a 2016 1st.
I doubt Bozak returns anything more than a 2nd.</i></div></div>

You never know, after all, 1 team gave up an 11th overall pick for Martin Erat... can't remember which team that was....

:capitals

And Jones is not a top pairing defenseman, and might never be, while Kessel is one of the top RW's in the league. And Nashville's 2016 pick will probably be somewhere between 25-30.</i></div></div>

Kessel is a bit one dimensional....and Jones was a 3rd overall pick(I think).... and he is only 20, and that Phaneuf trade is shit for Detroit, especially since they traded an elite prospect and a 1st round pick for a d-man with a 7mil cap hit and 0 of it retained, bad trades overall imo.</i></div></div>

Jones was 4th overall, and here are the last 10 4th overall draft picks not incuding Jones:

Sam Bennett
Griffin Reinhart
Adam Larsson
Ryan Johansen
Evander Kane
Alex Pietrangelo
Thomas Hickey
Nicklas Backstrom
Benoit Pouliot
Andrew Ladd

There are only two players that could be traded straight up for Kessel there. Think again about Jones' value.
