Seth Jones is now a member of the Chicago Blackhawks and there have been all sorts of rumors about whether or not the Blackhawks even want to keep him long-term.

Last night, the Blackhawks lost yet another hockey game. They fell to the Winnipeg Jets in overtime, which is a less-than-ideal situation. After the game, Seth Jones had some comments about what went down that showcase he has some frustration with the team. It all started with his remarks about how the team had a bad one-minute stretch that burned them.

'We played 59 great minutes. That's not gonna be good enough.'

While speaking to reporter Mark Lazerus, Jones also had some snide remarks about his team's effort since being traded to the Blackhawks. Essentially, he believes that the team is only starting to look somewhat focused now. Needless to say, just a bit of shade in those remarks.

Me: 'That was the most structured you guys have looked...'
Seth Jones, with a chuckle, cutting me off: '... since I've been here, I think.'

One has to wonder if Jones wants to be in Chicago for much longer. He is a veteran player and this Blackhawks team is in a rebuild. If his goal is to win a Stanley Cup, then this team is not going to get him there.
