Massive trade talks are developing between Winnipeg Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff and the Minnesota Wild.
The proposed trade would send Winnipeg Jets top prospects Rutger McGroarty and Ville Heinola to the Minessota Wild in a blockbuster exchange.
In exchange for the the Jets top prospects, the Wild are considering sending over Samuel Walker, Ryan O'Rourke, a 2025 first-round pick, and a 2026 third-round pick.
Both players have potential but are not yet proven at the NHL level. Walker is seen as a depth forward, while O'Rourke could develop into a reliable third-pairing defenseman.
The key elements of this trade are the draft picks. The 2025 first-round pick provides Winnipeg with a valuable asset that could be used to select a high-potential player or as a trade chip for future deals.

The trade is causing mixed reviews in Jets nation. A recent twitter post saw GM Kevin Cheveldayoff expressing that signing Heinola was a top priority, but with an enticing trade like this added in the mix, perhaps Cheveldayoff is re-considering his priorities.
