Gearing up their roster for another run at the Stanley Cup, the Florida Panthers on Saturday night acquired defenseman Seth Jones from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for goaltender Spencer Knight, a source told ESPN's Greg Wyshynski, confirming reports.
Florida also sent a conditional first round pick in June's draft to Chicago, and took back a fourth rounder from the Blackhawks to complete the deal.
Jones and the Blackhawks likely hit a breaking point earlier this week, when after a loss to the Utah Hockey Club, a game in which he scored, he sounded off on the team's lack of progress.
