<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Snowhawk18</b></div><div>I appreciate the perspective however, Chicago still needs to be able to get to the cap floor so Jones’s contract isn’t a liability and serves a purpose for the time being. As the cap increases over the next few years and young players; Bedard, Celebrini 😜; need bridge deals there will still be more than enough room to accommodate them.

Additionally, Chicago needs some veterans to provide guidance for the young players, no team can just ice six 20 - 22 year old d-men and not expect to damage their development. As much as people want to say he is horrible, they are just wrong and quite frankly it is a lazy take. Is Jones overpaid absolutely but he is still a very capable NHL d-man who would be top pairing on most teams.</div></div>

Bedard and Celebrini if you get him aren't going to be bridged, but that's a different conversation.

Thread: Leafs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>Jones is untradeable w/ that contract. Most likely scenario is he plays another 3 or 4 seasons for Hawks and then gets bought out.</div></div>

If you buy him out in 2027 his cap hit is 7.8M until 2030, and then 833K until 2033. That's a great buyout number while Bedard is in his prime. Why would you not trade him and only retain 2.5M while getting picks and prospects? You obviously have no clue what you're talking about if you'd rather buy him out than trade with retention. If you want to keep him for the entirety that's another story.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchJr</b></div><div>Truly, next level, terrible trade for the Leafs. You’re moving out top 2 prospects, + a 1st &amp; 3rd and 2 roster players for a good player, but on a (universally acknowledged) very bad contract. Can’t even begin to understand how you think this one flies 🤦🏻</div></div>

Jones at 7M is a positive asset. Look at Doughtys underlying numbers while the Kings were rebuilding. Nobody is going to look great playing 25 min a night with AHL players.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>No.

We need to add 1, preferably 2 d, to our group. Not remove 2 of our better ones and nuke all our best prospects in picks in the meantime.

If you go after Hanifin and Tanev, keep Brodie and McCabe also.

Brodie is a solid #3D. McCabe is a solid #5D.

Hanifin is a solid #2. Tanev is a solid #3D. Sanheim is more of a gamble. He is paid like a 2. This year he is playing like a 2. But he has played like a 3 in the past.

I would love to add Hanifin (extended). I would love to add Tanev if he costed around a 2nd round pick.

But we best be keeping Brodie and McCabe.</div></div>

Brodie gets cooked every playoffs. He can't play top competition, and he's overpaid to do anything else.

McCabe has a negative xG% in 9/10 of his NHL seasons.

Thread: Leafs Flames Rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>Flames never do that trade either.

Klingberg does nothing for the Flanmes if they're rebuilding, so it really offers them no value. Jarnkrot and Brodie are the same, theyve been in calgary and calgary doesnt want them, so thats 3 pieces they dont want. Kampf is a nice defensive player but hes not a 3rd liner, he just doesan;t have the hands.

Youd have to have a huge leap in faith in the leafs prospect pool that mInten and cowan can be more than what the experts predict (possibly bottom 6 guys) and that niemala, can be a top 4 guy.

It guts the leafs but doesn;t provide flames with anything top end.</div></div>

The whole point is to jumpstart the CGY rebuild. Trading 2 expiring contracts and Weegar for 3 top prospects and 2 picks. The players going back to Calgary are just for salary. No reason Conroy can't flip Brodie, Klingberg, and Jarnkrok at the deadline for more picks/prospects.
