SECAUCUS, N.J. (AP) — Seth Jones went to the Chicago Blackhawks from the Blue Jackets in a blockbuster trade completed just before the NHL draft.
Chicago got Jones and the 32nd pick in the draft and a 2022 sixth-rounder from Columbus for younger defenseman Adam Boqvist, the 12th and 44th picks in the draft and a 2022 first-rounder.
Jones also has agreed to a $76 million, eight-year contract extension, a person with knowledge of the move tells The Associated Press.
It was one of four trades made in the hours leading up to the draft where Columbus chose forward Kent Johnson of the University of Michigan at No. 5.
