Trade #1: Logan Stanley to Seattle Kraken. With signing of Suter Logan is really the odd man out on the left side. I really believe Heinola is going to get playing time this year with the Jets. Stanley goes to the Kraken in order to keep Demelo and not lose him potentially in the expansion draft.
Trade #2: Andrew Copp & Mikhail Berdin to San Jose Sharks for Kevin Lebanc & TOR 2021 4th Round Pick. With signing Blake Coleman for cheaper than Copp would have been helps the top 6. Copp was tried at 2nd line winger but didn't have the success he had at 3rd line with Lowry. He goes to SJS to play top 6 minutes in a different system and he has a better shot at being successful. Berdin also gives SJS a legit top goalie prospect. Lebanc fills in on the right side. See the Wheeler trade next.
Trade #3: 3 way deal. Wheeler has a 5 team trade list he can submit. On that list I feel like St.Louis, Chicago, Minnesota, Colorado, and Detroit. Out of these teams St. Louis is the team I feel the Jets can make a deal with.
St.Louis - from Winnipeg: Wheeler & 2021 1st round pick & 2022 2nd round pick. From NYR 2021 1st round pick, 2022 2nd round pick for Tarasenko.
New York Rangers - From Winnipeg: Tarasenko
Winnipeg - From St. Louis: Tarasenko. From NYR: A. DeAngelo (retained salary), Ty Ronning, Kevin Rooney
Summary Winnipeg gets rid of a bad contract and helps St.Louis unload Tarasenko. Also gets help in DeAngelo on a team that needed alot of help on defense.
St. Louis gets a veteran in Wheeler who is good in the locker room rather than Tarasenko. Also gets alot of draft picks to start building again.
New York Rangers. Gets Tarasenko to play along his buddy Panarin. Gives up DeAngelo who won't play for the rangers again.
The Rangers are stacked on the wings, so why trade 15th OA and a 2nd for a guy coming off his 3rd shoulder surgery? Plus it's cheaper to buy out ADA than retain him
