This Jones Trade makes sense

Only if he signs an extension and I don’t think he will.. but would love it

It makes sense for Washington, but not CBJ.

Yeah I don’t think it does. Not for a rebuilding team like the jackets. We needed the center but not a center who is late 20s trending down and locked up to early- mid 30s at 8 million. We should trade him for futures and players who are younger and have room to grow.

If CBJ is rebuilding they’ll be rebuilding for a very long time. Most of their players are 26 and younger. Just means your trading young players for younger players to start a new cycle.

Or keep your players under 22. And move the older guys like Jones and werenski but keep guys who add to a positive environment like bjorkstrand and Atkinson. Add to your younger core. Just because your trading a 26 year old doesn’t mean your gonna be in a long rebuild. I’m missing the logic here. You don’t have to pull a sabers and literally trade everything not strapped down. Look at how that does. No leadership established and young guys flounder in the wind.
