The rare "perfect trade" if you will

Ehlers for Stone and Pageau.Byfuglien + Perreault + Vesalainen
For
Stone + Ceci
Sens Reasoning: They get an impact player in Byfuglien who can immediately improve the Sens chances of not giving Colarado Jack Hughes, Perreault who can play anywhere in the lineup and Vesalainen who is a blue-chip prospect who can play on any wing.
Jets Reasoning: They get a Winnipeg born and raised product who can bump Wheeler to 2C(and eventually replace Wheeler long term as an Elite RW), a young long term Top 4 Defensmen.
Makes even less sense for the Jets. We're going to need quality players on a discount. Vesalainen could end up being every bit as good as Stone. Buff and Perreault both love being Jets, and Winnipeg is a tough place to love. I see a good chance of Perreault being re-signed at a discount.
Nothing against Stone or Ceci, but I wouldn't make this trade unless I really needed to clear cap space.
Makes zero sense for Sens.
A rebuilding team is asking for picks and prospects, not aging “impact players”.. save that for a contender.

The Jets don't say no. Winnipeg fans are among the most clueless on these boards I find.

What are the chances that Vesalainem becomes an elite two way winger?
Also, Stone is from Winnipeg. I think he'd love the opportunity to play there. Not to mention he gets to play with Scheifele who he has Sedin like chemistry.
Winnipeg might have legitimate reasons to not do this trade but these aren't it.
Make this fun for me. Explain it like we're 5. Tell us why a legit - but not exceptional - 1RW and a top 4 defenceman are worth a multiple all-star 1st pair D who can pick up and throw a pair of 200lb men simultaneously, a 40-point LW/C/RW with insane fancy stats AND a 19 year old prospect who just tore up the Finnish league to a team that already has 2 RW who produce more than the main piece in your package.The Jets don't say no.
