Is there no chance of the Jets retaining him? It seems like it would be pretty difficult, but I don't know the exact situation with expiring contracts and the like.
This is a hard one because he will be asking for like 49mil over 7. He will be older and you know the last 2 or 3 years of the deal qill be rough. I personally love the guy and would want him on the cbj buuuutttttttt the cost to get him will be high and the actual cost to financially keep him after will be higher.
Id say make an offer on what you want from the cbj in return just to maybe have a conversation but I have a feeling most teams fans would be mostly where I am here

The price would have to be pretty crazy, I think. What does Winnipeg even need? Just Hellbuyck to be the real deal and Trouba to extend?
I’d love to have him on the blues but there is nothing I’d offer that would be acceptable and the blues couldn’t afford to keep him

This offer probably isnt that good but just putting something out there.
I'd give kadri+zaitsev+2019 1st for wheeler. The cap would be a issue for the jets with 9 million coming in and only 5.6 going out. Value wise kadri+1st should be good value for a rental but adding zaitsev runs it in terms of cap wise for the jets.

Jets need 2C and top 4 RHD prospects. 2C now or 1 year away. RHD 1 - 2 - and 3 years away.

And what team do you think would move a 1/2 C with term for a pending UFA. Not many if any at all. Good player but as a rental he would not hold that kind of value.
I know. Was just tiring with idea. If he hasn't signed and no time is willing to offer a player of his caliber than we'd probably be better off keeping him for a playoff run unless by some miracle we're out of the playoffs.

Jegs are Cup contenders.
Trading their best player is not in the realm of reality.

Does it all depend on what they do with Trouba? I read a rumour that the Jets in the future might be willing to load up their cap on forwards and less on D-men?

Wheeler is damn good but I'm not sure he would return a package worth what he is worth to the Jets.
On the Jets, he was probably their best player all things considered last year (their most valuable probably being Hellebuyck)
Any rebuilding team that will be trading younger players, probably rather keep those guys in their cost-controlled years and competing moving forward.
He would only really make sense on a couple teams. Maybe a team like Boston with Donato++. The team with the best C prospect I could see in some remote scenario being interested is Florida with Borgstrom+.

Why would the Leafs move Kadri + Zaitsev + 1st for a winger? Especially a RW...

Th only reason the Jets would trade him is because they have so many contracts expiring and can't afford everyone, so it'd have to be picks and prospects.

He's worth the same thing on the jets as he is to any other team
Which is why It would be very likely he gets traded unless the jets decide ripping themselves off is a good idea or another team accepts it over pay

Not sure why the Jets do this. The only reason is to get younger. I assume they would be looking for youth in a trade as Opposed to 31 + aging players.
I believe he is worth more to the Jets to mentor the young bucks, than to any other team.

Da Jerts want to win the championship, not be in perpetual rebuild mode forever.
Wheeler never gets traded by them. He personifies everything they want in an organization

It’s a pointless thread. Jets are keeping him this year for another run at the cup and the Jets will have to decide if they want to resign him or let him walk for free next offseason.
