What Id like to see

Team: 2021-22 Winnipeg Jets

Initial Creation Date: Apr. 1, 2021

Published: Apr. 1, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Nothing flashy in FA, the Winnipeg way. I think MP comes back at a discount and I think that those two fourth line vet wingers can help develop Gus. I would love to see the Jets sign a UFA top 6 winger (Hyman/Schwartz/Tatar), but I think that gets in the way of Perfetti. I think he gets a real top 6 look next year. I think with PLD, it becomes likely that Perfetti has to develop as a winger. Which is ok, I feel like he’d play well anywhere with anyone.
D pairings are just a suggestion, I think they would move around a bit. But I think that right side is pretty solid and unless they bring back a LHD vet on a 1 year deal, I think both the young dudes get a shot.
I know the expansion draft is a hot button issue here, but I think with Samberg and Heinola waiting (and JMo going nowhere), Stanley is the odd man out. Would be too bad because he’s impressed this year. But DeMelo is so solid to me, just helps break up plays that would otherwise lead to opponents’ chances. Him being taken would just leave a gaping hole for the RHD, even if they signed Savard. Someone’s got to be taken and I think losing DeMelo would hurt more than people realize.
I think trying to not be up against the cap is a good idea. This could really come in handy at the trade deadline and I think with the pandemic it’s never a bad idea to try and save a couple of bucks.
Feedback always appreciated!
