The NHL draft is set to start this Friday, June 28th in Las Vegas.
With that in mind, all eyes are on Winnipeg Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff as sources have pretty much confirmed that the Jets top prospect Rutger McGroarty will be traded ahead of the draft.
Rutger McGroarty has been the centre of attention this week for Jets enthusiasts. Many are wondering what the Jets will be receiving for their top prospect as a trade seems imminent before Friday.
Martin Necas of the Carolina Hurricanes is popping up all over trade boards as a 25-year-old restricted free agent (RFA) looking for a new contract. I bring him up as an example of the third option Winnipeg has, which is to use McGroarty in a larger package to acquire a surefire, quality NHLer.
Could we see a blockbuster trade involving Rutger McGroarty and Carolina Hurricanes forward Martin Necas? In 77 regular season games this year, Necas notched 24 goals and 29 assists and was a +20 rating on the ice.
