Top 30 NHL free agents
Frank Seravalli of TSN: The Winnipeg Jets have a better idea now of what they could get if they moved RFA defenseman Jacob Trouba.
The Jets are talking with their free agent defenseman Tyler Myers to see if they can reach a deal. Myers would get interest on the free agent market and may go through the interview process.
Myers could get a long-term deal around $6 million per on the open market, but the Jets may be trying to get it closer to $5 million give their cap situation.
