Maple Leafs relieved after Seth Jones struggles in Florida

The Toronto Maple Leafs are relieved after former trade target Seth Jones has struggled since joining the Florida Panthers. His performance has not met expectations, with poor defensive play and limited offensive contributions. Florida's recent injuries to key players have compounded their challenges. Jones has recorded only one assist and has a minus-4 rating in seven games, raising concerns about his fit with the team. Jones, who has a $9.5 million contract for the next five years, has 28 points in 49 games this season. His disappointing start contrasts with the Maple Leafs' acquisition of Brandon Carlo, who has performed well defensively.
