It is being reported that the Chicago Blackhawks are open to trading Seth Jones and willing to get creative helping teams make it work.<\/p>\n

\"NHL<\/p>\n

Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Seth Jones is generating trade buzz ahead of the March deadline. NHL insider Frank Seravalli has included him on his latest \u201cTrade Targets\u201d board, slotting him on the list at No. 8. Noting that Jones\u2019 hefty $9.5 million cap hit is a hurdle for many teams, Seravalli believes that as the salary cap rises and a contender realizes Jones\u2019 potential in the right role, he could be a solid fit for a contender.<\/p>\n

Several teams are seeking a right-shot defenseman who can log big minutes. Many teams will pay a bit extra to acquire that player. However, Jones\u2019 cap hit might be a bit too high. He\u2019s signed until 2030, so expecting the Blackhawks to retain salary in any trade isn\u2019t likely. However, Seravalli reports that the team is willing to \u201cget creative.\u201d<\/p>\n

What Does Creative Mean in Terms of a Trade?<\/h2>\n

Instead of retaining \u2014 which if the Blackhawks did so, it wouldn\u2019t be a lot \u2014 the Blackhawks might be open to getting another team involved. The trick is convincing another team that Jones is worth the gamble.<\/p>\n

If a third team was willing to retain salary, even a slightly cheaper Jones might be a good fit. Still only 30, he is an effortless skater with offensive upside. He has 26 points in 38 games this season and averages more than 25 minutes per night. His critics say he\u2019s not good defensively, but it\u2019s important to remember he\u2019s been doing the heavy lifting on bad teams for several seasons.<\/p>\n

\"Seth
Could the Blackhawks trade Seth Jones?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

He\u2019s logging all the big minutes in Chicago, where the team is struggling through its rebuild. On a team with a deeper defensive core, Jones could thrive if not asked to do everything. And, as the salary cap goes up, teams that have little money to spend or have to make tough decisions on players who are going to cost a lot more than $9.5 million might see him as more attractive this summer than they did before.<\/p>\n

Teams Are Looking at Jones in the Right Trade<\/h2>\n

\"Seth<\/p>\n

While the Blackhawks are not actively shopping Jones reported TSN\u2019s Darren Dreger. Teams are inquiring about his availability. He has a full no-move clause, so he\u2019s got some leverage in any trade.<\/p>\n

If placed in a system where he doesn\u2019t have to be the do-it-all defenseman, Jones might like the idea of not having so much pressure on his shoulders. One has to wonder if he could rediscover the form that once made him one of the better d-men in the NHL.<\/p>\n

Depending on how \u201ccreative\u201d the Blackhawks decide to get and what teams think a $9.5 million defenseman is worth over the next three to four seasons, Jones\u2019 name might pop up a lot more often as the trade deadline nears.<\/p>\n
