"The Chicago Blackhawks and general manager Stan Bowman have pulled off a monster deal. According to NHL insider Chris Johnston, the Blackhawks have landed the top offseason trade target. Seth Jones is now a Blackhawk. This is immediate breaking news and return is not yet known. Jones had told the Blue Jackets that he would not be re-signing with the team next offseason so it was known the Blue Jackets would trade him. We can expect the Hawks first round pick going the other way.
Seth Jones is on his way to Chicago. — Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) July 23, 2021
