It's not a tough call for Winnipeg. We don't have any interest in Chris Tanev and his brittle, frail mess of a skeletal system. I don't think anybody does.Vancouver obviously would have zero interest in this.
As for Winnipeg it's a tough call. It's very, very likely to be a Top 5 pick. Vancouver looks locked as the worst team in the West. Yeah Trouba is great and yeah Winnipeg wants to win this season, BUT the core is still super young. Imagine them winning Jack Hughes and having him cost-controlled for years. I think it's a risk you make if you want to win a Cup. Yeah, Vancouver could be this year's Avs and drop to a mid first rounder (which would not be good), but it's not likely.
OP is asking the Jets to trade a young 1D and a 1st to move up in the draft and also take on a cap dump. In our window.
It's a really really easy call.
