The Winnipeg Jets' eight-month trade dry spell could end today, although it won't be a deal that shocks the hockey world.

The Jets are expected to be bit players as the NHL trade deadline strikes at 2 p.m.

Winnipeg (28-30-6) dropped a 6-5 decision to the Minnesota Wild Tuesday night at MTS Centre. The club remains five points back of the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference.

Veteran right-winger Drew Stafford, an unrestricted free agent on July 1, is a logical choice to be moved to a playoff-bound team looking for a serviceable forward.
