Making the right moves

Team: 2020-21 Winnipeg Jets

Initial Creation Date: Sep. 24, 2020

Published: Sep. 24, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

With the way heinola is playing in the liiga right now, he is going to make the jets imo. 8 points in 8 preseason games? I know it’s preseason but still, very good. I don’t want to get expectations too high, but he might have a big rookie year. I added Samberg to the roster because 1) he is ready as well and 2) he is big and makes the 3rd pairing monstrous. Just in case he isn’t ready, I resigned beaulieu as 7th d.

Now for the trades, for the time being, Danault would be a good fit in Winnipeg. 10th oa is the 2c of the future but until then, danault should be a good option that will let us contend. Anyways, chevy has apparently been after danault since he was in Chicago so he’s clearly a fan. As for the package, danault produces like a low tier 2c but his defense is very good. The market for those types of centres with an extension is a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd as shown by the pageau and recent 2c rentals by the jets. Therefore, they jets send their 2021 1st, 2021 2nd, and 2021 3rd for danault signed at 5x5.5. For severson, the jets make a 3-way deal:

WPG: Gives: niku, Seuss, and 2022 2nd. Gets: Severson and Sutter
VAN: Gives virtanen and sutter. Gets: Seuss
NJD: Gives: Severson. Gets: Virtanen, Niku, 2022 2nd (WPG)

Does every team get enough? Seems pretty reasonable for all ends to me but I may be biased so comment away!
