Équipe: 2018-19 Jets de Winnipeg

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Hard to say realistic off-season while including getting Tavares in that but if JT wants to leave NYI its to a) get paid while also b) being on a contender. The team as constructed below cannot be argued to be giving him both and it's not likely that's changing any time soon with the way the roster is built and while still getting 11M per.

Trades:

a late 1st for Myers to fill a need for TOR without giving up any of their young players (even if Myers isn't re-signed yet) is well worth it for a whole season.

Perrault + that 1st likely gets NYI to bite and part with one of their 2 x 1sts (the later of the two).

Little to MTL for a 2019 2nd and 4th is fair value for a team dying for experienced C's especially if they miss out on Tavares and Stastny (which they likely do).

Future:

The team on paper looks very solid. Has to hope Kulikov has a good year and can be traded next off-season for CAP reasons if they have any hope of keeping Wheeler. Connor likely will need a bridge deal regardless because of what Laine stands to make. May not be able to keep Wheeler unless he takes a hometown discount but WPG is deep at wing and needs a C. WPG will have the 5.6M in CAP space + Masons 4.1M coming off the books. A CAP increase of 2+M will also help (if it happens) but moving Kulikov and replacing him with Samberg or Morrow next year would allow for the 3 to stay even with raises and having that ridiculous Forward depth.
At 12 draft BPA preferably RHD to replace Buff in 3 years.

If only this dream were possible!
