The star defenseman would play on Detroit\u2019s top-pairing or second-pairing and bolster the blue line. He would add some offense to the blue line. Jones has skated in 38 games recording 6 goals and 20 assists for 26 points. Jones is a five-time NHL All-Star.<\/p>\n<p>Chicago, meanwhile, would get off of Jones\u2019 long-term deal which would be a key part of the deal. The Blackhawks would take on Holl\u2019s contract who\u2019s in the second year of his three-year $10.2 million deal. Holl has struggled to be an NHL player since signing with Detroit.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freep.com\/gcdn\/authoring\/authoring-images\/2025\/02\/05\/PDTF\/78232493007-usatsi-25341693-1.jpg?width=1200&amp;disable=upscale&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp\" alt=\"Detroit Red Wings say coach Todd McLellan 'brought us back to life'\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Blackhawks would also get a second-round pick as well as Rasmussen. Rasmussen was selected ninth overall by Detroit in the 2017 NHL draft. He\u2019s skated in 54 games recording 8 goals and 7 assists for 15 points. He\u2019s in the first year of a four-year $12.8 million deal.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Jones Open to Being Traded<\/h2>\n<p>Jones has been a member of the Blackhawks since 2021 when he was traded from the Columbus Blue Jackets.<\/p>\n<p>With the Blackhawks outside of a playoff spot and in the midst of a rebuild, Jones hasn\u2019t formally requested a trade but would be open to being traded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all know the whole story and what happened when I got here,\u201d Jones said to Chicago Sun-Times. \u201cI would like to give myself a chance to win in my career. I know that the money is not an easy thing to move, and that\u2019s what we\u2019re figuring out. If it happens, it happens. Obviously, while I\u2019m here with the Blackhawks, they have my full effort [and] full attention to this team to try to get this team better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jones has a no-movement clause so he has all the power to decide if he is going to be traded ahead of the deadline. If Jones doesn\u2019t get moved, he says his goal is to help Chicago win.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWinning games makes you feel better,\u201d Jones said. \u201cIt makes the team feel better. It makes your organization feel better. You have fun coming to the rink every day. That\u2019s what my goal is for this team, as long as I\u2019m here. It could be two weeks. It could be five more years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Blackhawks are 17-31-7 and in second-last in the NHL.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Red Wings Gelling as a Team<\/h2>\n<p>Since Detroit fired Derek Lalonde and replaced him with Todd McLellan he has been stellar.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Wings are holding onto a playoff spot and veteran forward Andrew Copp says that is due to how close they are as a team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe talked a little bit about identity again today and all the parts of the actual hockey game, but something that we talked about at the end was our togetherness, resiliency and the team that we have, in terms of handling adversity, but sticking together,\u201d Copp said. \u201cThat has really improved since Christmas. Obviously, winning helps with that but I feel like we\u2019re really gelling as a team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Detroit will return to the ice on February 22 against the Minnesota Wild.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A trade pitch has the Detroit Red Wings acquiring Seth Jones in a blockbuster deal with the Chicago Blackhawks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14812,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chicago-blackhawks"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
