It would probably make more sense for the Hawks to wait until 2026-27 or 2027-28 to deal away their No. 1 defenseman, but his public impatience does complicate the situation.

With the NHL trade deadline just over a week away on March 7, time is ticking for the Chicago Blackhawks to try and swing a deal involving veteran defenseman Seth Jones.

Seth Jones is open to waiving his no-movement clause so the Chicago Blackhawks defenseman can be traded to another team for a chance to play more competitive hockey, according to a report in The Athletic.

The Blackhawks and star defenseman Seth Jones are working on facilitating a trade before the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline.

The Chicago Blackhawks may or may not trade Seth Jones before the March 7th deadline. It will be a topic surrounding the team until that day passes because Jones revealed it could happen last week.
