Jason Bell: Multiple sources have said that the Winnipeg Jets are close to trading for Vegas Golden Knights center Paul Stastny.
Scott Billeck: Two sources have said the Jets are close to acquiring Stastny.
It’s sounding like there could be draft picks going both ways. Stastny has a year left on his deal at $6.5 million.
Mike McIntyre: Don’t believe the Golden Knights are retaining any salary. Stastny has the $6.5 million cap hit but only $5.5 million in salary.
Scott Billeck: “One thing regarding the deal for Stastny… while the Jets are helping Vegas in terms of salary, first and foremost, the Jets are helping themselves with a 2C that has chemistry with Ehlers and Laine.
