Thread: I Might Be the Only WPG Fan that Wants to Keep Scheifele
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Whats going on with Scheifele?</div></div>

He had some issues (some say he felt himself and Wheeler were not getting proper respect, it's all rumors) then his play declined especially on defense (Covid, injury, bad attitude, take your pick) now there are rumored to be meetings with (the team GM, his agent and his family as to where everything is going) the problem with trading him is his value has probably taken a big hit from last off season when he had 3 years on a cap friendly contract was 28 and was seen as a near franchise level talent and solid team player - this year just 2 years on his contract, almost the dreaded 30, his play level dipped and sometimes the word liability was used to describe his defense - and his description as a solid team play is in question - much of this may be unfair but people are going to look at the Eichel trade and drew conclusions.

Thread: I Might Be the Only WPG Fan that Wants to Keep Scheifele
My outside perspective is you keep Scheifele because he's going to be worth more to your team than the pieces you'll get back for him - he's not a perfect player, but his offensive production is going to be hard to replace. I think he's still young enough that you have a few years left of his prime to retool around him, Connors, Ehlers, Hellebuyck, and PLD. The Western Conference playoff picture is also in a good spot for them to bounce back - I don't see any of the teams below them making enough improvement to leapfrog them, and I think you can safely say that Nashville, Minnesota, Dallas, and Vegas all have enough going on that they could be very different teams next year, giving Winnipeg the chance to make up the 8-10 points they needed to get into the playoffs this season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jetsdood27</b></div><div>Move Schmidt over Dillon IMO. As for scheifele Chevy will know best where his head is at if he feels this is where scheifele wants to be and it’s best for him to stay he won’t be moved, his effort this year shows me he’s pouting about something and that most likely means he’s not happy here in which case you have to get him out of that locker room ASAP but who knows.</div></div>

It may not necessarily "pouting". Its tough to know what these guys are going through. It could be injuries, personal issues, Hawerchuk was a father figure to him and maybe he is just having a bad year. I say we should give him a summer to clear his head and then trade him at the deadline if he truly wants to leave. While his +/- stats were very bad, he was a very good player in the offensive zone. It took Ovi like 15 years to learn how to play defence. I say we give him another shot with a new voice behind the bench.
