Blackhawks to Take Advantage of Soon-To-Be UFA Mitch Marner From Maple Leafs?

It is not only evident from the Seth Jones trade that the Chicago Blackhawks are heading in the direction of wanting to add actual solid roster pieces to help the cause, but from the great number of talented prospects and young players, that the team needs to add something big to make the jump. That piece could very well be Mitch Marner the longer he goes without an extension.

Impact of the Seth Jones Trade on Blackhawks’ Goaltending

The Chicago Blackhawks completed a major trade by moving Seth Jones to the Florida Panthers not long after Jones spoke out about the state of the team and his frustrations. Chicago also sent a 2026 fourth-round pick to Florida and retained 26% ($2.5 million AAV) of Jones' contract. In return, the Blackhawks acquired 23-year-old goalie Spencer Knight and a 2026 conditional first-round pick.
