Even though Jones is not in his prime, because Columbus got the majority of that before he was traded to Chicago, he is still an underrated NHL veteran defenseman.
In JFresh's opinion, Seth Jones has been a big benefit for the Blackhawks, as he eats up lots of minutes on ice for the team, similar to his play in Columbus prior to his arrival, as one of their top pairing defensemen.
A cheaper contract in another market, like Tampa Bay or New York, would make his contract a steal, and he would at the very least be in the top two pairings.
