Mrazek isn't getting claimed off waivers and Winnipeg currently has an offer on the table of two 2nds for Copp, so that's not really close either.

cant trade the 2024 2nd

he definitely could. Arizona just traded wedgewood. you never know. crazier things have happened

Yeah I saw that too, Hirvonen was a 2nd rounder and is developing nicely he will be NHL ready sooner than an average 2nd rounder. Abruzzese is a prospect that probably has similar value to McBain IMO. So that's 2 seconds worth of value, the conditional pick is extra protection for the jets

You can, its the 2025 second that's conditional

yup i just seen it on the trade machine my bad

Minnesota isn't taking the risk of not having a G. So unless they do, it's a no. Our gm. Might not even want to let him go

Just a friendly heads up: in the 2020 CBA MOU, the league and nhlpa removed the ability to make trade conditions based on signings/extensions. So your Winnipeg trade would be rejected by the league.

The Jets aren't trading Copp for 2 2nds...that's the thing. Send the first and something else and the Jets will look at it. We are too close to give Copp up for anything less than a first

I think I heard that too on one of the insider's podcasts, I feel like there could be a workaround there. Maybe if the condition was phrased like "If Abruzzese plays less than 10 game in Winnipeg in the 2022-23 season then Jets acquire 2024 2nd"?

Im not sure the market is there tbh, maybe a conditional 2nd that can turn into a 1st + a prospect. But the clock is ticking so we will see

All good

I guess they're betting on Talbot/Fluery which is surprising honestly
