The Blackhawks would be an instant contender with Seth Jones

Seth Jones might not have the best analytics when it comes to defenseman, but the Chicago Blackhawks would still be wise to try and add him to their lineup.

One thing all Chicago Blackhawks fans can agree on right now is that this team is missing a number one defenseman. Seth Jones would be that guy for the Hawks. Jones is currently playing with a modified no-movement clause at a cap hit of 5.4 million.

His deal will expire at the end of next season, so should Columbus be willing to trade their start defenseman for a solid centerman in Dylan Strome and maybe some picks and prospects, the Hawks would get the help they need defensively speaking.
