<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TooMalevolent</b></div><div>It's not. Very easy way to tell us you don't watch much of other teams. Mayfield can't take top pair minutes. Look at the struggle he just had, and that was with an elite defending dman next to him. You would instantly regret this trade. Lol, just toss a first and a prospect, and that probably gets you an actually #1 like Chychrun. Lol I don't think the leafs would do Sandin in a trade for Chychrun, and you have traded him for at best a #4.</div></div>

Mayfield's spent 2/3 of his even strength ice time this year on the top pair, has kept things pretty much easy in shots &amp; chances (49.5%/49.3% for, both about 2-3 points higher than what the team does with him off ice), and the Isles have outscored opponents 26-19 at even strength with him. Even that has been slightly unlucky, because his GF/60 is almost half a goal less than his xGF/60 (2.27 vs. 2.75). Not trying to say he's a star, but he has definitely outplayed his $1.45M salary and would require less of a package (and less of a cap hit) than acquiring Chych.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TooMalevolent</b></div><div>Getting rid of Wheeler might not be best, because it might cost too much to dump him and at that point, maybe it's just a level of diminishing returns for an apparently good guy and good leader (which matters in a place like Winnipeg where players don't want to play). But to bring up production as a reason is wild. Jets should get rid of that contract immediately if they care to win soon.</div></div>

My main point is that even is that getting rid of Wheeler just simply won't happen. The Jets are (too) loyal of a franchise and I can't see them ever moving on from their captain no matter how many people want him gone. Has he regressed? Absolutely, but I think he is still a good player for this team. He most definitely isn't worth his $8.25m cap hit but like you said, it matters when a guy wants to play here as we aren't attracting top name free agents. I don't think anyone thought the latter half of his contract would look very good given his age, but in my mind there is no doubt they will ride it out.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TooMalevolent</b></div><div>Maybe the core is the problem? It should be telling that when a team that has gotten elite, best in the world goaltending over the last few years, gets average/okay goaltending, that they look this bad.

That said I don't think there's much to else to do. For the players they have locked up to decent contracts, it makes sense to probably just trade the older/UFA guys, hire the best coach possible, adjust the d again/play the young guys a bit, and hope the goalie goes back up a bit and the captain retires/goes on ltir. Ehlers has a nice contract, Connors also does for the offence. Perfetti looks real good. I would move Scheifele if there is a good hockey trade to shake this team and room up. Too long has everyone praised Scheifele and how great of a leader he is and how much hockey he watches. I wonder, in all that hockey Scheifele watches, what's he thinking when the C back-checks and plays above the puck in the d-zone? Dubois contract will be interesting.</div></div>

I like your take. It feels weird that the team looks this good on paper but folds as soon as the goaltending is mediocre. A Scheifele trade is interesting, but I'm not sure what it would look like since it's risky for the Jets and other team alike. I could see it happening if PLD signs long-term and Perfetti is able to move to C though.
