2 years ago, the Winnipeg Jets pulled the trigger on trading forward Andrew Copp to the New York Rangers.

Initially, the trade was thought to be a fair trade, but nothing special. Andrew Copp was traded to the New York Rangers by the Winnipeg Jets on Monday for three NHL Draft picks and forward Morgan Barron.
Fast forwarding two years, the Andrew Copp trade could potentially end up being one of the most significant ones in Jets 2.0 history.
Generated from the trade the Jets acquired Morgan Barron, a 2022 1st round pick (which became Brad Lambert), a 2022 2nd round pick (which became Elias Salomonsson) and a 2023 5th round pick (which became Thomas Milic). Simply put, Barron and the 3 prospects could all end up being solid contributors to the Jets in the near future.

When analyzing the prospects that emerged from this exchange with the Rangers, we can clearly see that the Winnipeg Jets won the trade. All the prospects mentioned above will set the foundation for the Jets future success for years to come.
