Would absolutely love Klingberg (John not Carl lol) on the Jets, but boy would it be hard to part with Heinola in ANY trade. Value isn't too far off in my opinion but if I had to choose I would probably pass simply due to Heinola's potential. Nice trade though!

For an elite offensive, play-driving defenseman that's still got 1 year left on an incredibly team-friendly contract, the Stars don't even pick up the phone unless Perfetti & your 2021 1st are mentioned in the deal

Heinola is way better than Perfetti.

I’d be willing to up the 2nd to a 1st, but I can tell you unequivocally that Chevy will not include Perfetti on any deal.

I understand this would mean Dallas retools this year, but by adding Heinola, a late 1st, and potentially a high 1st of your own, that’s a lot of talent to look forward to. Harkins seems like the odd man out at the moment with the expansion draft coming up, but he really showed flashes in the play-ins.

Possibly, but with Lindell, Heiskanen, and Harley the Stars left side is set for the next 4-5 years, minimum. LD is not really an organizational weakness for them at this point. Their biggest organizational weakness is top-6 goal scorers. Perfetti would fill an organizational weakness better than any other prospect that Winnipeg currently has to offer.



Like I stated above, Heinola is a solid prospect, but doesn't fill an organizational need for the Stars. Harkins is fine, but he's a bottom-6 piece & the Stars have about a dozen players that fall into that role & their prospect pool is full of guys that would also be fine filling a bottom-6 role. He doesn't hold much value at all to Dallas.

If Perfetti isn't included in the trade, I honestly don't know what else Winnipeg would have to offer that would entice Nill & the Stars to trade Klingberg, especially to a division opponent (once things return to normal).

I don't hate the trade value (if the 2nd is bumped to a 1st), but the only way Dallas is moving Klingberg is if they fill a massive need in their organization, and as solid as Heinola is he just doesn't fill that gap in their system.

That’s fair - only piece I might argue is that Heinola has played big minutes in both SM Liiga and World Juniors on the right side and looked good. I don’t know Bowness’ tendencies well enough, but if he doesn’t mind running an off-hand dman, it could turn out well for you guys.
