In a trade announced nearly two hours after Monday's 3 p.m. ET trade deadline, forward David Jones is heading from the Calgary Flames to the Minnesota Wild, and his son sure seems excited about dad's new team.

Jones posted the video on Twitter after sending a thank-you to Flames' fans. The 31-year-old recorded 62 points in 174 games across three seasons in Calgary.

The Wild sent veteran goaltender Niklas Backstrom and a sixth-round pick to Calgary in the trade.
