I think the Jets would need the deal to start with Schmid. Winnipeg has a tough time signing UFA, so having a player under team control is essential. Also, 27 year old Vanacek who folded like a wet paper towel last year in the playoffs does not move the needle for Winnipeg and does not have any trade value. Schmid would be a tough one for Jersey to part with, so maybe Jets go elsewhere with Helle. From what I hear, Jersey wants him and a lot of other teams have interest.
