An incoming exit from Chicago sparks discussion amongsts Blackhawks fans, and it's a positive sign for the organization that Seth Jones will be out the door
The Chicago Blackhawks have one, if not thee, brightest future in the NHL and in present, Seth Jones is hurting the franchise.
It's quite clear that Jones, one of the highest paid NHL defenseman and the highest salary on the Blackhawks, hurts the team when he's in the lineup, stats speak for themselves:
Seth Jones returns to lineup from injury:
1-6-0 (2pts)
Out scored: 35-18
Games with 5+ Goals against - 5
During Seth Jones' time away with injury injury (starting Nov.17)
6-8-1 (13pts)
Out scored: 46-41
Games with 5+ Goals against- 2
With little to no fans in Chicago, when will the Blackhawks organization part ways? Well, we now know the answer. Jones, age 30, is a filler defenseman at this very exact time for the Blackhawks, and their roster within the next year or two will be totally reconstructed, have a look:
In the roster pictured above, several highly touted defense prospects for the Blackhawks were left out, including
Wyatt Kaiser, who is now 22 years of age. With a overloaded prospect system, there is zero, and i mean.... absolutely zero room for Seth Jones come with point in time.
Blackhawks fans can now look forward to next season, or possibly a little later for Jones to be gone from the organization.
As Seth Jones is out the door, be honest... do you think he deserves the hate in Chicago?
