Knight is a great prospect and Chicago may very well end up with the best player in the deal when it's all said and done. It just makes sense from the Panthers POV given their situation, Knight was a 4.5 million backup who does nothing in the playoffs and was the only fat they could trim off their roster without having an impact on rest of the team. Jones fills a hole that was created when Montour left. At 7M, if he can be a solid second pairing guy for the next five years, it's a good deal for the Panthers.
