Winnipeg will probably be a bubble playoff team if all goes well. They might do something like that.

The Jets don't need another old 6/ 7 d-man. However Maurice would like to have another useless fossil in the lineup. lol.

If Detroit gets that much for Green, I will be shouting “TRUST THE YZERPLAN! â€.
Like I’m honestly expecting a Conditional 3rd that May turn into a 2nd. Green’s injury history lowered his trade value.
Now it’s the deadline so anything can happen.

Similar to Green, Daley has injury history.
So I could see getting a 5th, maybe a 4th if lucky. Not sure we get that 3rd. Even if the Jets are desperate.
Also wouldn’t the Jets prefer Green over Daley? We could retain Salary on Green for a higher return from them also.

I could see the Isles being interested in Howard but not sure we will get a 2nd unless he starts killing it and stays healthy.
12 Oct 2019 21:27:52
How is Green even worth a 1st? He’s so old and nowhere near what he once was. Winnipeg can do better.

I would love that return for Green but I would be happy with just a 2nd round pick, even potentially a conditional 2nd that becomes a 1st if Boston makes the cup finals.
Same with the Daley trade, I see his age and injury history catching up to him and making his value lower this season. A 5th round pick would be more than enough to recoup for a 35 year old top 6/ 7th D man.
I could see Jimmy Howard negotiating another 1 year contract with Stevie Y. Other than Holtby or maybe Markstrom, I don't see any potential UFA goalies that would make a better suited replacement to Howard, both in net and as a locker room presence.
If Howard won't be re-signed then I agree a 2nd round pick from NYI for him to play backup to Varlamov would be fair.
** Can we also trade Ericcsson to ANY team for a 7th round pick? **.

@DRWdave, I agree with your assessment.
Although I’m not so sure about keeping Howard. I would consider looking at the UFA market anyways.
If you can sell Ericsson, you will be the new best Wings fan of all time.
