Wheels

No thanks

The Jets would be better off just keeping Wheeler instead of making this trade.

It does seem like a trade San Jose would do, they love massive contracts

That is true.

Huh? I’m sorry but what?

Trade is very very good for Winnipeg lol. They get 2 players with reduced cap hits, that are serviceable players that could be flipped to other teams who need players like them.

Getting wheelers 8.25 million off the books would be ideal. We save 2 million immediately and could flip the two players to save the full 8.25. This is a no brainer trade for the jets. Much easier to get rid of Labanc and Simek than wheeler.

Jets management nixes the trade though as they’re loyal to wheeler. Plus I’m not sure wheeler will be playing hockey for much longer. Way too many injuries piling up, and he majorly regrets playing through injury.
