Thread: Vlasic Jones
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RecycleShark</b></div><div>I understand that Jones is much better than Vlasic (the older cousin.) I figured the value to Chicago was saving $9.5M per year for the 4 years after Vlasics's contract expires. So they can afford to pay Bedard and other young players. This is a way for Chicago to get out of Jones' contract without retaining $2M+ for six years.</div></div>

I understand the thought process but Jones is the only long term contract on the team. There's so much flexibility to the hawks cap situation that the Jones contract won't be a problem until the last year or 2 of his deal. And if it's a problem sooner that just means the hawks are ahead of schedule and their hitting on a majority of their prospects which is unlikely
