The Hawks will receive goaltender Spencer Knight and a conditional 2026 first-round pick, and they’ll retain 26% of Jones’ salary. The Hawks also sent a 2026 fourth-round pick to the Panthers.

Seth Jones impressed his Florida Panthers teammates in his debut Monday night, but it’s anyone’s guess when Matthew Tkachuk will be sharing the ice with his newest teammate.

Spencer Knight, from Darien, CT, led the Chicago Blackhawks to a victory over the LA Kings in his first game with the team since a trade.

Davidson on the Jones trade: "The benefits of the deal were such that it was something we felt compelled to do."

Before Jones even stepped onto the ice Monday night, Panthers fans showed their excitement, greeting the five-time All-Star with loud applause and a warm ovation when he was introduced in the starting lineup at Florida’s Amerant Bank Arena.
