NHL Rumors: Winnipeg Jets – Stastny, Appleton, and the Need For Defensemen

Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet: (mailbag) With some of the inevitable moves that need to be made, Winnipeg figures they can be a bit more patient.

Paul Stastny can play up and down the lineup and fills a lot of roles for the Winnipeg Jets. The 35-year old could be brought back but at a reduced salary.

Can see the Colorado Avalanche making sense for Stastny if he doesn’t return to the Jets.

The Jets could lose Mason Appleton in the expansion draft. GM Kevin Cheveldayoff could try to make a side deal for the Seattle Kraken to not select Appleton, but he can’t give away too much of their future.
