Proposal: Kyle Connor for Miro Heiskanen

[Viktor Vaughn]

Stars get a young and proven top six winger on ELC.

Jets gets a top 4 LHD, Heiskanen has the added bonus of an extra year ELC.

Miro has gained a lot of buzz over this past year so I doubt the Stars would get rid of him too easily. What would the Jets have to add to get this done?

Dallas laughs at this.

Talk has it that Jim Nil wont give up Heiskanen for Erik Karlsson, And you honestly think that Connor gets you Heiskanen.

 

[burstnbloom]

Yikes.

Stars need cheap high end wingers. What do you think it takes from Winnipeg? Ehlers, +?

 

[ViktorBaeArvidsson]

Oooof, sure that helps Winnipeg, but Dallas gets straight up screwed.

 

[JetsHomer]

I’ll take the 30 goal rookie over the magic bean thanks

 

[Jumptheshark]

dallas says no

 

[Maukkis]

Dallas declines for the same reason why Winnipeg would do (=entertain) this: you don't pass up on a prospect with a high likelihood of becoming a top pairing guy, if not more. For Dallas, that is magnified by the lack of certainty on their blue line after Klingberg and Lindell.

And on that note, Connor isn't a slouch either, so that narrative can go to hell too.

I would imagine at the very least?

 

[BB88]

If they would trade him I would guess it would be for similar aged prospect who's seen as the next franchise C or for a young proven #1C.

So highly doubt Heiskanen is getting moved.

 

[Maukkis]

I would imagine at the very least?

The thing is, with him being a prospect, what a Heiskanen is worth to Dallas is nowhere near what he is worth in a trade. This is why a) it is pointless to propose trades involving top prospects, and b) said prospects end up staying with their teams and developing to those young stars, such as Kyle Connor.

Hfboards once again valuing prospects over young proven NHL talent, colour me shocked

We've seen it at trades that the wingers don't have the value in comparison to D-men/C's.

Heisk is one of the best prospects in the World, they don't get moved easily, it's not just a HF thing.

 

[jeamein]

Yeah Stars wouldnt and shouldnt do it even Jets added there like 1 round pick. Sometimes I wonder whether people are stupid or just dont know enought how things work here

Heiskanen is considered to be the 2nd-best dman prospect and just had a remarkable season in Sweden last season against men. On the other hand, Connor is a winger and his fantastic production has been enhanced by the elite talent he has played with. This one is not even close.

How many under 21 year olds had 31 goals at the NHL level again last year?

Agreed. One is a prospect that had a great season in Europe one was one of two under 21 year olds to score 31 goals in the NHL

This is Connor AINEC

Oh come on. Really living up to your name.

 

[JetsHomer]

Oh come on. Really living up to your name.

Because I prefer the 21 year old 31 goal scoring rookie over the prospect that hasn’t done anything yet?


ok

 

[BB88]

He's still a winger, and winger who played with some of the best players in the World.

I like Connor, but again wingers just don't land Heiskanen level prospects.

Wait, so why would Winny trade Connor for a mystery box then?

I guess McDavid was a total bum before he played an NHL game


Jets take this trade and run really fast. Connor is a good player but with the talent on wings in Winnipeg they can afford to trade Connor, who was the third best player on his own line most the year.

Yes, because Miro Heiskanen and Connor McDavid were similar quality prospects.

Didn't say they were. Just proving your logic completely flawed.

You can be a valued player even before ever playing an NHL game. Connor doesn't even get Dallas to even think about the trade.
