From not going anywhere to trade candidates – Winnipeg Jets
Murat Ates of The Athletic: Though may not agree, the Winnipeg Jets are looking at being buyers leading up to the NHL trade deadline if they remain in the playoff hunt.
If they fall out of the race before the deadline, they’ll look to do some selling. There is also the potential that they could make a move that could benefit them both now and in the future.
Not going anywhere – Mark Scheifele, Blake Wheeler, Patrik Laine, Nikolaj Ehlers, Kyle Connor, Connor Hellebuyck, Josh Morrissey, Neal Pionk, and Ville Heinola.
Could move in only extreme circumstances – Andrew Copp, Adam Lowry, Tucker Poolman, and their 2020 first-round pick.
A trio of asterisks, each with their own story – Bryan Little, Dustin Byfuglien, and Mark Letestu.
Could move if the Jets decide they are buyers – Jack Roslovic, Sami Niku, Kristian Vesalainen, Mason Appleton, 2021 first-round pick, assorted other draft picks in 2020 and 2021.
