The Panthers are clearly in win now mode.
Jones will be better playing for the Panthers. How much better is the guess.
For Chicago, they save $7M in cap, get a potential franchise goalie and a first round pick. They have a ton of defensive prospects. Jones was not helping them.
Trades don't need to be won by one team. Both can win.

Yeah I see this the same, both teams should come out on top. I have some concerns about Jones' compete level but he will be asked to do a lot less in Florida. Will be interesting to follow this deal going forward.
I always thought Knight was a star in the making. But goalies are so hard to predict, only time will tell.
