Question #1: Can Mason Appleton play center well or not?

He’s listed as a C/RW, but I know he didn’t play much at that position this year cause the Jets have good middle-6 center depth in Copp and Lowry. The Sharks need a good 3C, so it would be good to know if he actually plays that position well or not.

Question #2: How much would Appleton cost?

The Jets are clearly at a bit of a disadvantage because if they don’t trade Appleton, they risk losing him to Seattle for nothing. I was thinking like a mid-round pick and a prospect could suffice, but let me know. Cause he would be the perfect fit for SJ if he could play 3C.

He hasn’t played centre at the pro level yet. He used to be a centre before pro though. I don’t see him in that spot at the nhl level. We probably see him top out as a middle 6 powerforward.

As for cost, the jets probably won’t move him unless they get a too 4 d-man back. The same can be said for almost every jets forward. However, he’s probably going to seattle

Ok gotcha I wasn’t sure if it was a possibility, but if he’s naturally playing better on the wing as a pro, there’s no point in forcing him into the center position and hoping he does well. The Sharks could offer like Šimek or Burns but I highly doubt either of those guys are game changers for Winnipeg.

Thanks for the feedback, it’s much appreciated

Burns would be nice but he’s signed too long. SJ and WPG just aren’t good trading partners right now unless the sharks are willing to give up a high pick (those are always nice for draft and develop teams like the jets)

Funny this came up . . . With the Toninato signing (another forward that meets Seattle exposure requirements) it could signal that Appleton may be traded for almost any kind of asset so as not to lose him for nothing to Seattle.

But if San Jose wants a 3C, perhaps Winnipeg would explore trading Copp your way, instead (?) . . . and protecting Appleton. (??)

Until today, this wasn't a possibility without that 2nd forward that meets expansion requirements. Interesting

I really like Copp a lot to be honest, but I don’t really think that’s a possibility since he will cost at least a 2nd if not more which is just too much for SJ to pay frankly. Also his next contract might be out of our ideal cap hit and term range. We have a few players to resign in the next 2-3 years so a shorter term player with a smallish AAV would be ideal for us.

So yes to Copp, but ultimately no because I don’t think the logistics would work out.
