We have to thank Seth Jones for his time with the Blackhawks, as he helped Kyle Davidson acquire Spencer Knight, our future starting goalie, but the way he speaks of the team now is just ugly.
Seth Jones forced a trade out of the Chicago Blackhawks organization, and ironically, would give the team a future in starting goalie Spencer Knight.
After all of the drama involved, Jones would also get what he wanted: a chance to hunt a Stanley Cup.
Now reunited with former Blue Jackets teammate Sergei Bobrovsky in Florida, he's now in the Eastern Conference Finals.
In competition against the Carolina Hurricanes and former Blackhawks teammate Taylor Hall.
After all is said and done, Jones didn't shy away from taking shots at the Blackhawks organization all the while.
«It definitely feels like there's some pressure off [me] after the trade,» Jones said. «In Chicago, I was just forcing things and trying to do too much - out of my realm, to be honest. It was always hopefully for the betterment of the team, in my opinion, [even though] it didn't always turn out that way or look that way. But here, I can just play my game.»
While Jones would later admit during the article with Ben Pope of CST that he wasn't playing his best hockey here in Chicago.
Ironically enough, now that he's in Florida, he feels the pressure's off him. Make that statement make sense.
In Chicago, they're undergoing a rebuild, and Jones was expected to play his best hockey nightly, something which we were never privileged to see as fans.
Now in Sunrise, they get the benefit of a Seth Jones who leveraged his unhappiness in order to get in a situation that could benefit him long-term if he wins a Stanley Cup.
