Dont trade Stanley but still get Ekholm

Created by: pavelisgoat
Team: 2020-21 Winnipeg Jets
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 26, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Jets would be crazy to trade Stanley at this point considering the amount he has upped his game. He could be a vital part of this teams’ now chances as well as the future.

Wouldn’t be big on them trading Samberg either, if they have to get Ekholm or another top 4 D, which they should, a first, third and Niku is about the most value they should be offering. Get someone other than Ekholm if that doesn’t get it done!!

Can the Jets acquire a RHD and bring Heinola in for playoffs? Anyone have thoughts on that?

That looks like something we could get at nexts year deadline with the 1st being in a way better draft class. We have quite a few niku quality defenseman on our team already. You don’t get a top pair defenseman for that. You might wanna look somewhere else

cant see Ekholm getting the asking price tbh... maybe around the Muzzin deal, biggest issue is expansion where the team acquiring Ekholm could get screwed with exposing a good player to the point where alot of teams just think its not worth it

could easily see him staying in NSH

Fair enough. I’m on the side of things that Ekholm is just not good enough to give up more. He definitely would help the Jets, but I am very against them giving up any more than this for him. Would be good for them to look elsewhere to someone like Savard. They should not under any circumstance trade Stanley or Samberg though

Replace the 3rd with Samberg and its probably a fair offer

It appears that the Jets would prefer to slide Heinola's ELC so doubt we see him this season including playoffs unless there's a lot of injuries, think Samberg will get the call before Heinola does.

As for Ekholm the ask is too much imo, should look for cheaper to acquire options even if they're not as good as Ekholm.

Understand why Nash would want that but it would be so stupid of the Jets to do that

Why is that? Ekholm is like a top 25 dman and this is one of their best shots at a cup

The risk for teams thinking they can get him for less in the offseason is that Nashville can extend him and up the price.

If they extend him then he isn't getting traded.

If they keep Samberg and have some combination of Morrissey, Pionk, Heinola, Samberg and Stanley as their d core, they should have a good shot over the next few years as well. I just say that because it seems like poor asset management to trade him when they don’t have ufas and the need to go all in plus the problem of expansion
