The Blackhawks have acquired Seth Jones, the No.32 overall pick and a 2022 sixth-round pick from the Blue Jackets for Adam Boqvist, the No.12 overall pick, a 2021 second-round pick and a 2022 first-round pick.
Jones has one year left on his deal that carries a $5.4M cap-hit but was due for a raise and made it clear he wasn't interested in returning to Columbus. Jones had a modified no-trade clause so he was interested in joining the Blackhawks and received a massive eight-year extension immediately following the trade. Jones' offensive numbers have been trending towards in the last two seasons and he has many detractors, especially in the analytics community, so this will definitely be a deal worth monitoring for the future.
