The Chicago Blackhawks made the Seth Jones contract extension official yesterday when Jones signed his eight-year 9.5 million dollar contract on day one of free agency.
The Chicago Blackhawks might have paid a high price, but Seth Jones is the new face of the blue line.
Seth Jones is only 26 years old, turning 27 in October, and will be on this team for the next nine seasons. His new contract will kick in a year from now so the team has a little bit more time to figure out the math of his contract and how they are going to fit the entire group in with that massive deal.
