Cushman mentioned he&#8217;d like to see the Stars land Jones, in what would be a blockbuster pre-deadline deal.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Overpaid doesn&#8217;t mean bad. That&#8217;s something to remember about Jones, who&#8217;s been in a very difficult situation the past couple of years in Chicago. He hasn&#8217;t lived up to his $9.5-million cap hit, but he&#8217;s still a good defenseman whose athleticism and size make him a top-pairing option. The Stars have three quality left-handed defensemen in Miro Heiskanen, Thomas Harley, and Esa Lindell. Add a legitimate right-shot option in Jones, and Dallas&#8217; defense transforms into a seriously well-rounded unit. It would require flexibility from the Blackhawks regarding salary retention, and a player such as Matt Dumba would have to be included to make the money work, but this one isn&#8217;t impossible.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>With the Blackhawks once again struggling this season, GM Kyle Davidson could choose to move the 30-year-old Jones for some younger assets who align better with Connor Bedard&#8217;s career path. Jones earns $9.5 million AAV through the 2029-30 season, and does hold a full no-trade clause. Playing for a Stanley Cup contender, in a state with no income tax could certainly be appealing.<\/p>\n<p>Jones has recorded 26 points in 38 games and is leading the Blackhawks&#8217; defence core in scoring. In Dallas, they have been hammered with injuries and currently have a projected $4.5 million in deadline cap space, meanwhile have $12-million in their LTIR pool.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dallas Stars have already made a significant trade leading up to the March 7 deadline, as they landed Mikael Granlund and Cody Ceci from&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14635,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[875,873,874,872,868,870,867,869,871,876],"class_list":["post-14634","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chicago-blackhawks","tag-hockey-buzz","tag-hockey-rumors","tag-hockey-trade-rumors","tag-nhl-buzz","tag-nhl-rumors","tag-nhl-trade-deadline","tag-nhl-trade-rumors","tag-nhl-trades","tag-nhl-trades-today","tag-nhltraderumors-me"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>NHL Trade Rumors: Dallas Stars &amp;
