Change of Scenery

Team: 2022-23 Winnipeg Jets

Initial Creation Date: Sep. 9, 2022

Published: Sep. 9, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Chevy has really put himself in a pickle with the trades he made last year for Dillon & Schmidt. The jets have two dman who are no longer waivers exempt in Kovacevic & Gawanke that are prime candidates to be claimed. Both had strong years in the AHL last year and look like they can make the jump to the NHL.

Chevy will need to make moves in order to solve the problem he’s created, or he’ll stand still and allow guys to be lost for nothing. I truly believe he is on the hot seat this year.

My solution for this is to move Dillon and Stanley. Both guys are bottom pairing players, Dillon has somewhat of a palpable contract, and could be of use to teams who suffer an injury or need to fill a hole after training camp begins. Stanley I feel like will garner some interest from teams who aren’t necessarily competing and have a bit of cap flexibility.

The Rangers are likely moving Lundkvist and could potentially move on from Kravtsov as well. I feel like the jets should take the opportunity to acquire these players while also giving other guys a chance to play somewhere else. Heinola and Gustafsson have both been held back by poor coaching decisions in Winnipeg. Jets need to get some RHD into the lineup so it would make sense. I added a pick to NY to balance the difference in value between the players.
