Lol...I like how these two trades happen literally the day after Benning was on Team 1040 and essentially said he's never seen it this slow in the trade market before. GG.

This is a fantastic trade for Nashville at the moment. I'm a big fan of Jones, but Columbus should get more for someone who has established himself as a 1C.

Pretty fair deal talent-wise, but the Preds better have some assurance Johansen wants to be there long-term. He can walk in two years if he chooses, whereas they had Jones for at least four more.

Risky move by the Preds.

Not only for the reason pitseleh mentioned, but Jones is quite talented.

I guess the Jackets are probably hoping to get Matthews this year.

1D for 1C, fair deal. Murray and Jones is going to be a great anchor for their blueline.
They are tanking pretty hard so there is a chance they will get Matthews (damnit) so they might solve that 1C thing really fast.

Jones will lose all his offensive talents by blocking 10 shots per night. #Torts

I think this trade could open up another possible landing spot for Hamhuis. Nashville still has a great defense but wouldn't hurt to add a solid vet they are familiar with.

Pretty confident that Hamhuis ends up with one of the following teams

Montreal
Washington
Chicago
Dallas
Nashville

And some really underrated wingers.
Nashville might just become my favourite win the cup this year.

nashville was looking for a #1C for like ages. Personally, I think Johansen struggles. Let's see

Imo Nashville should have targeted the Nuge.

Seth Jones has a lot of potential. Imo he has a chance to be the better player in this deal, but I think CLB should have got Jones +.

Jones is good, but he needs top pairing minutes and won't get it in Nashville cause they already two of the top 5 defenseman in the league(Weber and Josi) IMO

not sure you can be a favorite when you have to go through two of Chicago, St.Louis, Dallas, Minnesota..... plus LA/ANA if you make it to the conference finals.

I think LA and Washington are the two favorites right now.
