New York Islanders: Debunking The Winnipeg Jets Trade Rumor

One game. We made it one game before a terrible New York Islanders trade rumor was started. Shug McSween wrote an article stating that the Islanders and Jets are in talks to complete a trade.

That isn’t the crazy part. The Islanders just had one of their prospects ask for a trade and the Jets are a team that needs help defensively due to the uncertain future of Dustin Byfuglien. The Isles have defenseman to give and could use an upgrade at forward.

The trade package is the part that doesn’t make sense

This is an insane ask from Winnipeg in a deal for Nikolaj Ehlers.
