Seth Jones has been traded from the Chicago Blackhawks to the Florida Panthers, alongside a 2026 fourth-round pick, in exchange for goaltender Spencer Knight and a 2026 first-round pick. The Blackhawks will retain $2.5 million of Jones' salary. This move follows Jones expressing his desire to leave Chicago to pursue a chance at winning the Stanley Cup. With solid statistics this season, Jones aims to play in meaningful games, while Knight, a young goaltender, seeks an opportunity for more playtime after being a backup for three seasons in Florida.
"Just where I'm at, you know, 30 years old, I still have some good years ahead. I want to hope to maybe be in a situation where I'm competing for a Stanley Cup."
"After trading Jones with $2.5M retention for Knight & saving $2.5M cap hit, Blackhawks have $5.2M Proj Cap Space; can fit $24M annual cap hit @ deadline."
