Throw wheeler in with scheifele and bring bobrovsky back from Florida, if your trading helly, if your selling even less ufas coming than usual.

We take. We run.

I think thats good value for the canes, but idk if they take that considering their cap situatiom

Caps give you a better offer for PLD

Need one better piece for Bucky, like Holloway.

We need someone to get Dubois some sort of enhanced Pro Xtra membership at Home Depot.

I think you can get more for PLD & Helley.

Canes trade is very interesting - not sure how likely WPG is on retaining 2x4 but I guess in your scenario they're entering a full rebuild. I actually would do that deal the more I think about it. My preference would be to get a younger goal scorer but Wheeler is still a very effective PPGish player and would be a good replacement for Nino if he left. 2 years remaining fits as well with when Canes will need some extra space for raises to guys like Aho, Pesce, Jarvis, Turbo.

Not sure if he'd want to come to CAR but I think he only has 5 team trade protection and I would imagine he wouldn't mind coming here to chase a cup.

PLD can **** off, he can go work at Home Depot for all I care... lol 😆

For the record I'm not one of these bitter Jets fans cause most don't want to play in Winnipeg but who announces this two years from UFA, most of these guys are willing to "play ball" and help a team out but he just sank his value for the Jets, what a fukcin d!CK move!

What infuriates me though is the fact neither Laine or Roslovic had a problem with Winnipeg, FFS what a stupid organization!!

Like who?

I initially had Puli in the trade, but wasn't sure what Oiler fans would think of that. Same with Holloway. With their cap situation, I figured they'd value those young players on cheaper deals (depending what Puli signs for obviously)

I just think without retaining salary on Wheeler, no team is going to want him. I see the Canes as a team that is right on the cusp of a championship, and I'm not saying Wheeler is the missing piece by ANY means lol, but I figured they might take him for 4 mill, plus getting Vesalainen who has potential, just hasn't been given an opportunity in Winnipeg IMO

Not a bad idea honestly, get rid of Wheeler and take on Bobrovsky. Almost cap dump for cap dump, but yet somewhat fills needs of the opposing teams

Agreed, that's why I have the Jets retaining 4 mill on Wheeler, so his contract would only cost them about 4 mill AAV, plus they get Vesalainen who is young, cheap and under utilized in Winnipeg. Pretty low risk I felt, but I'm always curious to see what fans of the other teams think

Not sure if bob agrees, but could kind of interesting spot to develop a elc tender or two, for bobs 4 years

Yeah true, if he's got any sort of NMC, you have to imagine Winnipeg is on that list lol

As an Oilers fan I would rather trade 2 first round picks for this year and next in place of Holloway. Although I complelty respect the value of Holloway in that trade. The Oil need to start keeping their drafted and developed players only way to get better. But I would love to have Hellebuyck.

Coming from a non oiler fan, I completely agree. I feel like the Oilers need to let their young guys develop. If you have McDavid / Draisaitl down the middle, you will have success (Crosby / Malkin example, build around them with young, cheaper pieces)

But like I mentioned in my explanation, I think the Oilers were a legit (or even average goalie... sorry Smith) goalie away from making a deeper run. Getting an arguably top 5 player at his position in Helle might push them over the top, and you give up anything to win a cup in sports now days. So maybe players like Holloway, or Pulijarvi become available

Yeah I could see adding JP in there before I would want Holloway in there. In addition we could add a goalie prospect Olivier Rodrigue (not sure what WPG has for goalies in their prospect pipeline). But a tandem between Helle and Skinner would be unreal. I would do that anyday.

Probably don't have as good of a roster player as Carlo to add but I assume Lapierre + the next two firsts + Eller + something else. Would definitely be more of a rebuild than a retool package but its three premium future assets instead of one

Agreed. After Trouba rescinded his trade request, he and his agent played ball by being quiet about his plans. It never leaked out that Trouba had a list of one team where he would sign an extension, which enabled Cheveldayoff to get the best return he could from NYR. I remember a report which mentioned Jim Rutherford (PIT at the time) said that he offered a much better package for Trouba, implying he didn't know of the one team list (otherwise the offer would have been lower).

True, ya never know what Jets decide to do, and in this complete rebuild scenario, I could see them accepting something like Lappy, 2 1st rounders, and eat the cap of Eller
