Description

A couple of in division trades:

Jets to the Blues a solid and take their 2020 1st so they can extend their captain. The Blues could shop around, but as soon as we ink a backup tender this deal is off the table.

They also do Wheeler a solid and trade him home to finish out his career. We take back Dumba which helps their expansion draft issue and is someone that would be able to quarterback our PP. Wheeler could play 2nd line C for them or slot in on the wing if they want to give JEEk a longer look. Wheeler has a full NMC but they didn't tap him to do year end media which is strange to me so maybe he's unhappy and would welcome this move?

If Little is able to return we can easily fit him without any roster shuffling. We could decide to stay cheap this year with no revenue from fans or we could take on another cap dump in the $5M range if we could play them on our 4th line and it was attached to a 1st round pick or prospect we really liked. I think it's important that our young LD play next year so we get all the rookie mistakes out of the way at once and are back to our new window in 2021.

Don’t even bother with the wheeler trade. The jets have enough d specs that Dumba would be redundant soon

If I have to read "so they can keep Pietrangelo" one more time

I really doubt we'll get ripped off trading a useful player like this. Maybe the return will be small, but it ain't gonna be a 1st round pick + Allen (or Bozak) just to move them.

Jake Allen was top-5 in save% and led the league in high-danger save %... also a career .913 and .925 in the playoffs. The Blues aren’t moving a first to get rid of him.

The Jets RHD prospects aren't close to Dumba though, that'd be a great trade for the Jets, the Wild would never make it though.

I agree that Allen had great numbers last year. To help a division rival keep their star player or really for anyone to dump cap to the Jets that would be the cost I would expect. Maybe Ottawa or some other team will want less to take these guys on? We'll see what happens.
