This trade is so stupidly short-sighted it hurt my brain.
All for a d-man who has serious short-comings in his own zone and is already 30.
I know Florida needed a top 4 guy, but this isn't the guy to get, and that goalie of the future being given away WITH a 1st round pick??? ####ing insanity.

Goalies are dime in a dozen, I think you are overvaluing them too much. Florida plays a structure that hurts the offense but is beneficial for defense and goalies, I think Jones will look good for them.
Again, Knight was 4.5 million sitting on the bench for a team that's looking to make another run. It may come back to bite them in the future but it's the right call now.
