Description

In my best case scenario for the Winnipeg Jets, they retool over the upcoming offseason and make some shakeups to the core. Dillon and Schmidt are still likely moved to allow for Heinola and Samberg to play on a consistent basis. Scheifele is the main shakeup, I think the writing is already on the wall. I also believe that their could be a change in the leadership core. I’m not sure they’d strip wheeler, but in my best case scenario they hire a new coaching staff which could lead to leadership changes. I’m lost as to what their options are in terms of coaching, I’m sure there are plenty of great candidates, I’m just not the biggest fan of continually recycling coaches. I’d say they should go after Pascal Vincent to take over the coaching position.

Trades

Gardiner, Jake
Jarvis, Seth
2023 1st round pick (CAR)

Additional Details:

I’m sure Carolina fans won’t like this and that’s okay, I’m open to suggestions. I just was thinking that if they underperform in the playoffs this year they might be looking to make some changes and win now while their window is open. Let me know what you think.

CAR

Scheifele, Mark

WPG

2023 3rd round pick (DET)

DET

Schmidt, Nate
Vesalainen, Kristian [RFA Rights]

WPG

2023 2nd round pick (WPG)

Additional Details:

Seattle is a team with a plethora of picks including winnipegs 2nd in 2023. I wonder if they’d be interested in this type of deal.

SEA

Stanley, Logan

Additional Details:

I’m not sold on Stanley, I’m not concerned about moving him as the jets have a logjam at LD. Hopefully they can get a 2nd back for him as he’s still a useful player and could develop into a really solid defender.

Hopefully, if there are hockey gods, Gardiner would block the trade. Jarvis would be a nice start though.

I just took gardiner for cap reasons. Jarvis and a 1st is pretty nice, I would like to ask for more but I didn’t want to get too greedy hahah.

would take more than that to take Schmidt. 4 years left on that deal is probably the killer. Yzerman has a fresh start with contracts after this year. I dont see him helping salary capped teams for cheap and likely would only take players with 1-2 years left on these types of deals.

I figured that was why. I'd just be keeping my fingers crossed that Gardiner would say no to being involved.
