Created by: jonh514

Team: 2022-23 Winnipeg Jets

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 27, 2022

Published: Jul. 27, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

I've seen a lot of Jets rebuild posts in the past few hours and decided to take a crack at it based on Quality Elite talent over lots of maybes

Jets play kingmaker in this scenario for the Sabres and Devils

Jets get prospects to help accelerate their rebuild but fundamentally plan to be terrible for 3 seasons while developing Power, Nemec, Holtz and trying to draft an Elite Goalie and Center

Trades

WPG

Comrie, Eric
Okposo, Kyle
Power, Owen
2023 1st round pick (BUF)

Additional Details:

Jets get an Elite future #1 Norris-trophy defensemen
Comrie comes back to play Goalie during the dark years ahead
Okposo is basically a Cap-dump

BUF

Additional Details:

Sabres net a Kings ransom and some cap-relief for Power
They get an Elite Goalie on a good contract in Helle
They get a Great 1B Center to play behind TT in Scheif
They get a #3 D to play behind Dahlin in Morrissey
They use their cap to go out and sign Klingberg to play with Dahlin
They spend the next 5 years challenging for the cup every year

WPG

Additional Details:

Jets get a great RHD who "may have Elite upside"
Jets get a great RW who "may have Elite upside"

NJD

Connor, Kyle
Dubois, Pierre-Luc ($3,000,000 retained)

Additional Details:

Devils get an Elite 40 goal scorer entering his prime on a sweetheart deal
They also get 1 year of Dubois with salary retained so they can play him at Center or Wing. Maybe they can convince him to stay?
Devils drive for the playoffs as their window officially opens

Retained Salary Transactions

Pierre-Luc Dubois: $3,000,000 (50%)

I saw Power and started laughing. They aren’t going to trade the best prospect in hockey. The idea of a big trade isn’t bad but I don’t see them considering it for a minute

Trade from a place of organizational strength to fill multiple holes of organizational weakness. I don't think this is a bad trade for Buffalo if they want to compete for a cup. They are getting an Elite player back in Hellebuyck as well.

Buffalo has a lot of development to go before they compete for a cup, well past Helly and Scheifele's contract expiration.

Buffalo obviously doesn't wanna compete yet. And, this is a bad trade regardless. Swap Power with Samuelsson and you'd have a deal.

Also, Okposo isn't a cap dump. He's literally the heart and soul of Buffalo.

Trading win now players to a rebuilding team in exchange for a recent first overall pick and another first round pick in the deepest draft since 2015. Ok sir

They are going to be a 500 team or slightly above. They just aren’t ready to make big moves yet.

I totally don't feel that way. Really enjoyed the Sabres last year. Palat was a bit of a head scratcher though...

Okposo, just bought a house in Buffalo. He spent the summer here and is imbraceing the community the Sabers and the rebuild. He has one year left on his contract. I'm sure the Sabers are going to either resign him after it's done or find him another position in the organization. Cap is definitely not the problem for the Sabers. There's few assets the Sabers are willing to give up right now until they see how they are going to work out.
