Bill Zito, the general manager of the Florida Panthers, made a significant trade by acquiring defenseman Seth Jones from the Chicago Blackhawks. This move, involving goaltender Spencer Knight and a conditional first-round pick, underscores Zito's aggressive approach to improving the roster. Zito expressed his excitement over Jones's arrival, citing their positive history together and the belief that Jones's character will be a great fit for the team. At 30, Jones brings twelve years of experience, having played in key roles for several teams, including the Nashville Predators and the Columbus Blue Jackets.
"We are thrilled Seth is here. We have known each other for some time. [His] character, personality, how we think he'll fit into things factored into the trade."
"Jones has averaged 23:44 of ice time in his career and has averaged at least 24 minutes of ice time each of the last few seasons, highlighting his importance to our team."
