Description
Trade for Appleton to get Jets last season's Elite Top 9. Improved Gustafsson with 4th line role and help on the PK. Really good depth players to play on the 4th line too. With an Already improved D from last season, it would be good to bring back that Top 9 familiarity, along with a better 4th line. This would be a team that could make some serious noise in the Playoffs... Also bring Jets prospects to develop together in the AHL, they are the Jets future and it would be very beneficial for them to grow strong together, and build on that.

It would be nice to have Appleton back, but he's done nothing to be worth a comparable player and a 3rd even with retention. If a 4th or lower on its own doesn't do it, Winnipeg should walk away.

It be great to have Appleton back! But definetly for a low rounder or to dump Beaulieu. But Copp is doing well on the 2nd line so I'd keep him there. With the idea of Appleton back, I'd do the forward lines like this:

Connor - Dubois - Svech
Copp - Scheiflie - Ehlers
Stastny - Lowry - Wheeler
Vesay - Gustoff - Appleton

Harkins

Morrissey - Schmidt
Dillion - Poink
Stanley - DDM

Beaulieu

Helly
Comrie

I thought about a 4th instead of a 3rd, but I just believe getting Appleton back would be worth it. It would be powerful, and help rejuvenate the Team getting a teammate back they believe in. Appleton understands the Top 9's transition game and has been with the team for a few years, before having a strong year with Copp and Lowry. Appleton has a lot of chemistry with the Jets players and their game styles, it would definitely be worth it to get Appleton back. He'll resign at a good price too.
