Another bombshell trade has been rumoured between the St. Louis Blues and the Winnipeg Jets.
The buzz surrounding Winnipeg Jets disgruntled prospect Rutger McGroarty has been non-stop as we reach the midway point of the NHL offseason. Although GM Cheveldayoff hasnt pulled the trigger yet, here come the St. Louis Blues entering the chat...
The proposed trade, would see McGroarty heading to St. Louis in exchange for a package that includes promising prospects Zachary Bolduc and Zach Dean. This deal would address the needs of both clubs, providing McGroarty with the opportunity for immediate NHL playing time and bolstering the Jets' prospect pool with high-upside talent.
Although the proposed trade is generating mixed reviews in Jets Nations, the swap would see a formidable exchange in high end prospective talent.
It would make sense for GM Cheveldayoff to make this deal happen as his current offseason trajectory has shifted to stacking up AHL talent, rather than signing big name UFA's.
While this trade remains speculative, the rumors surrounding McGroarty's future are intensifying. As the NHL offseason progresses, it will be fascinating to see whether the Blues and Jets can finalize a deal that benefits both sides.
