Seth Jones tired of Blackhawks being 'bottom of the league'
Veteran defenseman Seth Jones, a popular name in this season's trade market and who is in his fourth season with Chicago, voiced his frustration after the Blackhawks lost their fourth straight (0-3-1) and extended a run in which they've now lost seven of eight (1-5-2).
"We're the exact same team right now as we were Game 1," Jones said at his locker. "It's pretty evident out there. We haven't made any strides to be a better, more simple hockey team, and it shows. We don't get a lot of wins because of that."
"This has been almost four years of bottom of the league," said Jones, who scored for Chicago in the loss. "So, it's not just this year, for me, at least."

Jones, 30, figures to attract quite a few suitors leading up to next week's trade deadline. But any move for Jones is going to be complicated considering the lofty contract he'd bring from Chicago. He's only in Year 3 of an eight-year pact that carries a whopping $9.5 million salary cap hit.
Just sayin': Seth Jones wasn't happy with the Blue Jackets and now he isn't happy with the Blackhawks either.
