Full package not certain yet, but it includes at least one first-rounder to the Blue Jackets. There is at least one other pick too— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) July 23, 2021

I guess I'm out of step on this one too because I don't hate it for Chicago. It's two (probably mid-round) firsts for a guy who we thought a couple years ago as one of the brighter young defensemen in the game. It's a big contract but I certainly don't think the issue is he's washed at 26.

He’s not two 1st round picks + less valuable than Jones, especially if the contract numbers being thrown around are accurate. They added a big win-now piece, but it’s hard to call them a win-now team.
That Jones contract might be the worst thing a GM did today, and that's saying something.
