They're certainly not getting it through a trade like this.

Nothing that really interests me in this deal as a Hawks fan. Hawks pass imo. Jones doesn’t waive anyway.

Even if Columbus wanted Jones back they wouldn't pay that for him. Jones wouldn't waive for Columbus anyhow after all he forced them to trade him away in the first place because he wouldn't extend with them.

hahahaha….HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

You have got to be kidding me right? if this actually went down Columbus GM is getting fired over this trade

When did Jones become good again? Must have missed it...as far as I know he's disappeared since getting his big money.

Maybe so, but that doesn't mean that it's any good for Chicago. Boqvist doesn't fit the mold of what the Hawks seem to want from their young Dmen. Bean was hurt all last year, and his analytics were underwhelming when he did play. Not to say he's a bad player, I think if he gets healthy and plays in a good system he's a good player. But the Hawks have young D that need NHL time and he blocks them. Laine is undoubtedly a great player, but he's missed 20+ games each of the last two years. Plus, if it comes down to Laine vs Jones, Jones is going to be much more beneficial for the Hawks going forward as a mentor for their young players. The Hawks have competent vets at forward to lineup with Bedard in Hall, AA, etc. On D, the only competent vet they have outside Jones is Murphy. It just really makes no sense at all for them now or in the future.

After he left Columbus.

HA. Stats say otherwise.

You're going to have to be more specific.

Bedard is a generational talent of Laine, unreal shot, great hands. They would compliment each other so good. What is it that they want from there young dmen, a mobile point producing dman at 22 years of age? i must be stupid but isnt that what every team is lookin for? (Kevin Korchinski is a mobile point producing dman so might as well trade him too) Bean is mid af.

Again, Laine is a good player and would be a good fit with Bedard, but they already have Hall as a vet and have some really good young forwards coming up over the next few years. He's just not as much of a need as Jones.

Boqvist is certainly still an interesting young player with some potential. Unfortunately, he's not particularly big, he's not good defensively, and he's had consistent injury issues throughout his career. The Hawks seem to value high-end skating and size in their young Dmen. Now they're certainly willing to overlook player flaws if the talent is undeniable in other areas, but I don't think that's the case with Boqvist. He's certainly shown that he can produce offense, but I don't think he's shown enough consistency and high end talent in that area to make up for his shortcomings in other areas. He still could, but it's not a bet I'm willing to make if I'm Kyle Davidson. Korchinski is a similar player in many respects, but I'd personally be pretty disappointed if he's in the same place Boqvist is in a few years.

The hawks need right now is develop Bedard not anything else. Hall is a good start but hes the only person who can really help him, give him someone who can really let him show his abilities. For sure be disappointed if Korchinski is where Boqvist is, I'm just saying he is going to be a 2-5 mil dman who can produce and skate he does indeed need to find a way to stay healthy because it has killed him for sure.
