I think it is posturing.

The interest, league-wide, seems to be for MacKinnon. If the Avs are perceived to be leaning towards Jones, it gives Florida all of the power.

I think the Avs are looking to see just how crazy of an offer someone is willing to throw at them. And the only way to do that is to make people think they are taking MacKinnon.

Edit: I also think MacKinnon is the better choice, I am only responding to those questioning why they would announce this.
