Would do A LOT to get McGroarty. Exactly the kind of guy I'd love the wings to add. Beneficial as well with him at Michigan, especially if he still goes back even after a trade.

Despite my affinity for him, not willing to trade one of our top prospects for him. I view it as we can draft MBN alternatively who at best is similar to Rutger. But more unknown/further away.

The trade:
Jets ideally get help now while also adding assets.
Wings don't have much to give that can help the Jets now. I include Holl as a neutral player with 1m retained. Better than a buyout for the wings, with fewer years of money. And fills a need for the Jets as a defensive RHD at a lowish cost on short term.
15th overall is the key asset of the trade. Not as valuable as Rutger alone, but should be a good enough prospect available there for the Jets to somewhat replace Rutger.
Berggren and James are the sweetener.
While Burgers is not the perfect guy for the Jets as a smallish winger, he can fill into a spot potentially left by Ehlers departure. Hopefully they could give him a chance on the second line.
James is an ok prospect, drafted second round and playing at UND, which should be enticing for Winnipeg being close by.

I wouldn't give up any more than this value wise. My immediate feeling was the Wings aren't a good trade partner for the Jets as I'm not willing to part with Danielson, ASP, Kasper, Ed; but after seeing other offers here on CF, I guess popular opinion doesn't demand more than this trade.

Other considerations on this roster:
1. Acquiring a decent goalie or signing a third
2. Danielson, Kasper, Mazur will they make the roster
3. Rutger signing or going back to Michigan
4. Trade Fabbri/Maata?
5. Sign Marchy, Stamkos, Kane, etc if we free some cap room

For me, a lot of those decisions could depend on what Rutger would do.
