An interesting trade between the Montreal Canadiens and the Chicago Blackhawks, involving defenseman Seth Jones, has just been proposed on BPM Sports.
It was host Georges Laraque who floated the idea, seemingly in response to comments made by Seth Jones last night after his team's loss.
Seth Jones says he's talking with the Blackhawks about the possibility of a trade.
"I 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's what we're figuring out."

Jones is a right-handed defenseman who has already accumulated 27 points this season (in 41 games) and is looking for a fresh start.

Check out the excerpt in question:
"If Chicago retains a third of his salary, so he only costs you six million dollars per year.. Okay?
He costs six million, there are five years left on his contract.
They trade him to Montreal, and they ask for Calgary's first-round pick, do you do it?
A right-handed defenseman, a 40-point-per-year guy, on a bad team no less, a solid defenseman..
I would do it right away, 100 miles an hour. [...]
Imagine him with a better-equipped team (than Chicago), like Montreal.
So, what I'm saying here isn't crazy, he's going to be traded, and the Blackhawks know they have to retain part of his salary."

And you, would you do it?
Would you trade the Calgary Flames' first-round pick, acquired for free alongside Sean Monahan a few years ago, for a six-million-dollar Seth Jones?
