Like I said I didn't think anyone would like my post but I'm baffled that Ullmark, Frédéric and Middlestadt wouldn't be attractive pieces , and also I don't see how anyone could know what Ullmark would think about Winnipeg, as far as the first being too far , it is still an asset to be used at Winepegs discretion
Well the point is the pieces don't help Winnipeg now. Any player that has trade protection in his contact had Winnipeg on it, so that's a fairly safe bet. Fredric is worthless, every team has tons of mid 20s wingers that haven't done anything and are marginal 4th liners. They have zero value on a trade.
Mittlestadt is okay, but a normally disappointing winger having one good year isn't too exciting when they are an easily found left shot.
Firsts are nice, but one 3 drafts in the future could be anywhere and would be 5 to 6 years from being able to play in the NHL. So not a lot of value, when giving up key players.
You also have to figure that the Jets can get a 1st in next summer's draft and good prospect for each Scheifele and Hellebuyck at the TDL this year, so they aren't getting much than that with this offer, considering waiting 3 years for a pick. So why do it now?
The other teams need to make concessions as well not just Winnipeg.
