NHL Trade Talk Recap Feb 26
Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Seth Jones didn’t mince words following the team’s 2-1 loss to the Utah Hockey Club on Tuesday. Expressing frustration with the Blackhawks’ lack of development, said they haven’t improved since the opening night of the season and hinted that’s why he’s looking to move on.
“We’re the exact same team right now as we were in Game 1,” Jones said. “It’s pretty evident out there. We haven’t made any strides to be a better, more simple hockey team, and it shows.”

Kypreos goes so far as to suggest the Kings are already exploring the possibilities and have spoken with the Buffalo Sabres. It’s not clear who the Kings are eyeing from the Sabres, but we wrote in another post that four members of the team are on Kypreos’ trade bait list. Tuch is among them, as are Dylan Cozens, Bowen Byram, and Mattias Samuelsson.
