The Winnipeg Jets have a little bit of money to play with, yes, but also a lot of talented players on their roster that are currently underpaid. That will not be the case for long. You certainly don’t want to earmark too much of that money for current upgrades.
That being said, if John Tavares comes up to the Jets and says he’d like to be a part of their organization, you throw caution to the wind. You have to strike that right balance of present aggressiveness and future success.
So, that being said, I have a couple of minor trade ideas that might help the team in the short term, without mortgaging the future assets (maybe, I’m not sure).
