JONES TO FLORIDA

The Florida Panthers acquired winger Ty Jones from the Chicago Blackhawks for future considerations.

What does it give the Florida Panthers
The 16th pick overall in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft is still a project. The Panthers hope to catch lightning in a bottle with Jones, who has struggled even at the AHL level throughout his career.

What does it give the Chicago Blackhawks
All Chicago gets out of this trade is memories of what might have been, had they not spent their first-round selection in '97 on Jones.
