How is the Jones deal artistic license? He was a player one year from UFA who was not going to sign with his team. His team got a former 8th overall pick, a 12th overall pick and a 44th overall pick by throwing in a 32nd overal pick and eventually a 6th overall pick. Only the 6th overall pick was uncertain. Jones is certainly a comparable, the fact pattern is very similar to the current Tkachuk fact pattern. I guess I should have added “or equivalent of” as the Flames are not going to go for 3 first rounders. Nonetheless, the idea that less than that should be acceptable in terms of value is laughable, Jarmo had no leverage either.
