In a recent article from NHL reporter Greg Wyshynksi, it was touted that Jones could actually be a trade target. In fact, the reporter believes it is really going to happen. Despite the contract being large, the salary cap increases have made the contract a whole lot less worrisome. Having said that, the timing of Wyshynski's report is questionable.
As Wyshynski notes, trading Jones might not be easy for the Blackhawks as finding a replacement would be next to impossible. However, at this stage of the game, you really never know. No matter what, it is fun to theorize and come up with some potential trade scenarios.
