They will get a better return than that.

1st rounder instead of 2nd? Two 2nd round picks? Thoughts?

Yeah I don't see McGroarty leaving Winnipeg for the likes of Chicago.

Not even in the ballpark and also, McGroarty is 100% signing in WPG after his Junior year when the Jets have more roster turnover.

Yeah someone is not understanding of the situation whatsoever lol. Whatever you'd trade nazar add a 2nd and that's what it would be fair even tho jets don't trade him whatsoever. Still time to delete this btw

Swap Athanasiou for the Tampa Bay 2024 1st. Crazy scenario though.

Fair, but in this fantasy world the Jets have no leverage either. Gautier was Drysdale and a 2nd just a few months ago.

Mcgroarty probably sees a rather decent trip to the captains c in Winnipeg and part of the next wave, not completely assured til the signature is official, but confident that he is entertained with the organization and direction.

Yeah, if a player doesn't want to sign, yep I can see this type of trade happen, (not necessarily McGoarty though)
But in this post, why does Kyle Okposo even get a contract ], never mind 4m

With the Schmidt dump involved, CHI is giving up too much. But without the Schmidt dump, it's not enough. Also, I don't think they would have any interest in Athanasiou. So, adding him would diminish the value of moving Schmidt to create cap space. If WPG sells McGroarty they will want straight up value anyway. 32 thoughts went over this earlier and said it was more of a roster space situation. He was essentially given a choice of the AHL or go back to college and chose college. But, he will still more than likely sign with WPG when all is said and done, this wasn't really a "refusal to sign".
