Scott Maxwell of Daily Faceoff: Frank Seravalli notes that it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that Seth Jones wouldn’t mind a chance at winning elsewhere. It’s doubtful that Chicago Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson’s phone is ringing off the hook with that $9.5 million salary cap hit.

Now that Blackhawks teammates and fans are aware of Jones' trade request, how long can a mature, professional dynamic hold?

Three years into an eight-year contract with the Chicago Blackhawks, Seth Jones is willing to consider moving on to a contender.

Jones signed an eight-year, $76 million contract in 2021 carrying a $9.5 million cap hit. The Blackhawks traded for Jones in 2021, but shortly after he arrived in Chicago the team stopped winning and the situation has only become worse each passing season.

Going through every team in the playoff hunt to explore the realistic options for where the 30-year-old defenseman could end up.

Seth Jones and Zach Werenski, friends and former Columbus Blue Jackets defensive partners, couldn’t be on more disparate trajectories this month. Werenski just returned from stealing the show at the 4 Nations Face-Off with a tournament-high six points but falling a Connor McDavid overtime goal short of helping the Americans bring home the championship.

Seth Jones is open to waiving his no-movement clause so the Chicago Blackhawks defenseman can be traded to another team for a chance to play more competitive hockey, according to a report in The Athletic.

There is no secret that the Chicago Blackhawks and veteran defenseman Seth Jones are lookin to mutually part ways at this year’s NHL trade deadline. He signed an an eight-year, $76 million dollar deal with the Blackhawks after being acquired by the team in 2021.
