Adding a center some size and dmen

Description
Taking a chance on Wennberg, not sure if the Jackets want to trade him now or not but this is all pretend so what the hell.. Lol, think that's fair value for him and Anderson.
Trading Connor sucks but the Jets defense is garbage and sorry but I don't see DeMelo as a top pairing dman. Edmunson and Merrill add some size to the back end which the Jets sorely lack, Morrissey and Pionk need bigger D partners period.
Figure that the Wings probably won't sign Perlini, maybe he figures it out in Winnipeg, he adds some size to the bottom 6 if nothing else and if he doesn't get it together no big deal, nothing major invested in him on a one year deal. Signed Rinaldo for some muscle against dirty teams, he can sit in the press box when not needed. Roslovic centres the 3rd line, let's see what happens and yes Wheeler is 3rd line RW, he needs to get some softer match ups and less minutes a game, he'll still be on the 1st powerplay unit.
Was trying to build a more balanced lineup, add some size throughout and improve at multiple positions.

So is this even a playoff team? I'm not convinced it is but idk, the Jets have many holes to fill.

All opinions are welcome CapFriendly critics but let's keep them constructive, thanks!

Yeah. Wennberg is only like 500k for a buyout, but if WPG really wants him for a 5 mil and to move a 3rd for him sure.

isles dont have to send a 7th and id rather them not trade pulock. Also i think he gets paid a little less, especially because of the flat cap

Wennberg most likely gets bought out this season, unless a team is actually willing to give up an asset for him, which is unlikely. His buyout is super cheap if they do it this year, but it gets expensive next year

They’d be better off trading instead of buying him out. If I remember correctly he has quite a bit of term

Maybe for Connor it would be easier to get Domi & young Fleury RHD + good 2nd #46.
You would get a better 2C and a good NHL ready RHD.
To replace Pulock you can sign Brodie at a cheaper cost than Pulock...like 5,5M for 5years.
Wheeler would play on the second line where he fits better... and you will have enough money to even add one of Tiffoli, Dandonov to complete your top6

Thanks for the feedback!

Domi will cost more then Wennberg's salary is and Fleury isn't a top pairing RHD like Pulock is though.
I figure Wennberg could use a change of scenery, looks not bad in the playoffs and could maybe work well with Laine and Ehlers, it is risky I know.

Not sure how much of the Jets playin against Calgary you watched but it was painfully evident that their defense is too small and needs a big top pair RHD to play with Morrissey which is why I traded for Pulock.

Winnipeg doesn't attract free agents or at least ones with more demand for their services so guys like Dadonov, Brodie and Toffoli aren't signing with the Jets when they have other options therefore I don't think that suggestion is realistic, I know this is all fantasty land speculation on this site but I try to keep my posts realistic.. Lol.. Which is also why I traded for a center with term and Pulock and Anderson are RFA'S so they're controlled, Pulock is from Manitoba so maybe he'd sign long term with the Jets, pressure from his folks so they can come watch him play.. ha!

The free agents I signed seem like realistic possibilities of players that'd sign in Winnipeg, don't think they'll have a ton of teams throwing money or term at them.

Wheeler looks like the decline has set in and the Jets have gotten almost zero offense from its 3rd line in years, some softer match ups and less minutes would probably help him last in his mid to late 30's, the hope is he could get that 3rd line producing at what a 3rd line should on average and he'd still be on the first powerplay unit. If it wasn't working some shuffling around could be done with Wheeler, Laine and Anderson to find a better fit for all three lines, he's likely staying on the top line though, can't see Maurice ever moving him off it unless they're hit with some major injuries and line changes occur.

Thanks for commenting!

If Im the jets the only way I take Wennberg is if Matty P goes back the other way and the BJ's add a kicker. He has a terrible contract. Maybe a change of scenery helps, but that's a big price tag to find out.
I like the idea of the jets getting Pulock, but the islanders are dealing him...he's arguably their best D and the future of the blue line. Plus trading KFC would be tough for the jets...he's super good
