Seth Jones exit interview rubs fans the wrong way


I understand that what he’s saying he’s objectively true, especially after such a poor season, but I feel like all we’ve gotten from Jones in his media appearances have been complaints about the state of the team. I’m not sure what he was looking at in thinking that this team wasn’t heading for an inevitable rebuild at the time that he signed his contract. These types of comments do nothing to endear him to a fanbase that he’s already struggled to win over.

And he wants to wear the C? He’s done absolutely nothing to prove that he deserves it. It’s an honor to wear the C, especially following someone as well respected as Toews.

Starting to hope he considers waiving his NMC…he clearly doesn’t want to be here and we don’t need that type of energy in a locker room of young guys trying to develop chemistry and a winning mentality. As Foligno has shown, it’s possible to showcase positivity, even in the midst of a losing season, while still making it clear that you want to do better and expect more from yourself and your teammates. Jones has done nothing to show he’s a proud Blackhawk besides cash his inflated paycheck each season.

  1. Okay bud, then waive your NTC and fuck off somewhere else. At least then I won’t have to listen to CHGO jerk you off every post game stream.

  2. I mean, he’s not my favorite by any means, but at least he was honest and not blowing smoke.

  3. Feelings mutual Jones, we don’t want you around for the rebuild either. CHGO tries to gaslight everyone into thinking he’s this teams best D man on the team based on everything but the simple eyeball test. Every shot he misses the net 5 feet wide of on the PP, every refusal to pass to Bedard, every defensive lapse because he thinks he’s a forward and gets caught behind the net in the opposing teams zone leading to a 2 on 1 for Vlasic.

    Waive your NTC and GTFO

  4. maybe I’m biased as a fan of him, but i understand why he feels this way, Bowman thought after the covid year this team could make the playoffs consistently but obviously that failed

    I just don’t know if he should be saying it publicly but at least he’s honest

  5. He never takes accountability in his statements seems to put most of the blame on the team most of the Time while excluding himself. I’ve noticed this a lot this year

  6. I just don’t understand why some of y’all are acting like he told us and the team to go fuck ourselves lol. Jones wanted to leave a rebuilding team, Bowman convinced him that the Hawks could retool and be fine and gave him a massive contract offer he couldn’t refuse. He’s allowed to be frustrated that he got suckered into signing on for another rebuild in the middle of his prime long term just as much as we’re allowed to be annoyed at the price and term of his contract

  7. Are the CHGO paid for by the hawks all they talk about is Kane never coming back. Jones being a god. And Davidson being a galaxy brain.

  8. Lol he signed long term sold on the idea that he’d be competing then whiplash and suddenly he’s at the start of a five year rebuild

  9. I just want Jones gone. Waive the NTC and let him go to a team that makes the playoffs. Him and Nurse both overpaid and are no longer no.1 d-men. If we don’t get Cellibrini, I hope we draft Levsunov.

  10. It is literally your fault this happened Seth. You took money you knew you couldn’t play up to and the team was forced into a full tear down.

    So suck a dick, I hope they trade you to someone else prior to this team being playoff ready so you don’t win anything.

    I mean, I get being upset. But when it’s partly your fault you don’t get to complain.

  11. Seth is getting paid very well for what he brings to the table. He signed knowing at what state the team was heading yet still signed. So, STFU mentor and do your job.

  12. I guess I don’t see what he said that was so bad. Didn’t expect a full rebuild incoming, (don’t think anyone did) and wants to Hawks to be winners

  13. I hate seeing Seth go out of his way to not pass to a open bedard and either take a shit shot or make a risky pass to another player who’s covered. U have one fucking job and aren’t even doing it

  14. To everyone saying he should waive the no trade clause, find a team willing to trade for that caphit. Hawks would have the retain half of it for 6 more years.

  15. I appreciate honesty. The past few seasons have been bad, People want to play for good teams. And even if he wants to waive the NMC, who wants that contract??

  16. Honestly if we do have a Captain next year, the only guys on this roster I would consider are Bedard and Foligno.
