Take out Comtois and the second and ANA might think about it

Jets Decline
Zero need for any LHD
What would you want from WPG for Konecny?

Jets decline. They don’t need a LHD. JVR is bad. Comtois might not be better than him but still. Your trading a 2nd and Comtois for a 1st and JVR. The JVR contract isn’t even moveable anymore.

There's no incentive for Winnipeg to make a lateral move for a more expensive rental. The idea would be to move Dillon to clear cap space, not add cap.

What possible good is one year of a hideously expensive James van Riemsdyk to a team that won't have a chance at the playoffs this season?

Substitute Jakob Silfverberg with 25% retention for Comtois and the second and I could see it. Then you wouldn't need to sign Phil Kessel.

You're aware it takes a 1st just to dump JVR, right? We are not throwing Comtois or a second in to sweeten the deal, let alone both. After the Monahan deal got done, I'd bet its a 2023 first now as well, there's even less market space to dump that kind of money.

You’re over valuing Konecny and not taking enough salary back

That Jets trade is awful for Philly
