    Seth Jones was not a negative player. He is a quite good defenseman. He was overpaid in a a flat cap era for a terrible team. That skewed perception. But he was a top three Blackhawks player

    In some ways it doesn’t really matter, because you have to imagine there’s a very good chance Chicago doesn’t even make the pick. They have to start looking to trade picks for established players ASAP, or else they run the risk of stalling out in lottery land. The buffalo path is still on the table. I think they have to find a way to acquire two expensive players before next season to meet the cap floor. Free agency might get them one, but a more realistic approach is some sort of summer blockbuster with a team that comes up short this spring and wants a refresh.

    2026 or 2027 pick? regardless this is good

    Boy howdy has this team gone to horsefeathers

    The bears are desperate for impact players. If the best player in the draft drops to them at 10 they have to take him. He won’t drop.

    AH is inevitable but I doubt there’s a whole bunch of randos that know it’s a done deal and nobody reporting it.

    The food that makes Chicago a tremendous food city is not the food you’d feed professional athletes

    Just use the masters app. It’s great.

    You can never have too many left footed kickers

    It sounds like Jones has asked for a trade.

    Also Ian Cunningham will not be the Jaguars next GM, but based on the photos Jacksonville did hire a guy that matched in Charlottesville and on January 6.

    I’m on record believing glove based WAR is a cross between a mirage and unsustainable. Guys who can’t hit can’t last

    We will shift from saying he sucks to saying the guy who replaces him sucks just as much.

    Bears announced their coaching staff. Most of the names we knew but a few were added from previous lists, don’t ask me which. The S&C guy was promoted from previous spot and at least one of the assistants is a holdover so not sure if we can hope for any improvement in health management

    Read that as hardcore surgery at first, worrisome phrase

    When the tank began everybody that understood the process said it’ll be 2027 at least until they are good. They are marginally better than last year. They’ve competed most of this year while last year they were a cake walk. In hockey you need two legit scoring lines and 2 more solid ones just for a chance to compete. Very good teams have 3rd line guys that are better than Chicago’s top line. The Blackhawks have less than one full line. It’s basically a roster of middle to bottom six guys playing up one or two slots, with the exception of Bedard. They need guys who can hang with Bedard. Those guys are coming but not yet in NHL(or at least not NHL regulars). When you start from scratch it takes forever to get the ~9 impact forwards and 4 very good D to win consistently. very few forwards and practically zero defensemen make immediate impacts after getting drafted. They will probably be better next year (IF THEY ACTUALLY ACQUIRE A SECOND BANANA) but a 20 point jump right now, which would be a big step, still puts them outside the wild card.

    https://chicago.suntimes.com/blackhawks/2025/02/19/seth-jones-blackhawks-nhl-trade-deadline-chance-to-win could be something or could be nothing but Seth admitting “I would like to give myself a chance to win in my career” seems like a step in that direction. I still think it’s a long shot. Jones is still a good defenseman filling a needed spot. In the not too distant future he may become a third pairing guy, but he’s not that now. Unless they really want to clear space for Levshunov to play big NHL minutes tomorrow, and/or wanted to clear space to incentivize Rinzel to turn pro, there isn’t a really good hockey reason to make this move.

    Are you really differentiating the worth between 4 and 6 million? The amount of WAR between those values is nominal and would be in the range of expected production for him this season already.

    When you say “too” do you mean in addition to DH?

    Did not realize his age. Turner is a man, he’s 40.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    It was good enough for Roy Hobbs it’s good enough for Shaw

    I firmly believe that dozens of QBs were ruined by circumstance just like Brady greatly benefited from going to a team that carried his mediocre ass for years before he developed into a great.

    The players are fully invested and by all accounts the fans are into it. I’m looking forward to the Canada USA game on Saturday and this is a great lead up to the inevitable return of World Cup play for nhl stars.

    If I was a Golden Knights fan I’d sit there and be quiet so as not to anger the hockey gods for their incredibly fortuitous existence he’s week to week and regular season standings don’t matter
