There has been some potential trade development between the Calgary Flames and the Winnipeg Jets.
Rutger McGroarty is still a name for the Jets that continues to swirl in the offseason trade rumour mill. Although he's committed to playing the NCAA for 2 more years, he's still a prime trade candidate for GM Kevin Cheveldayoff to consider.
The latest trade rumour involves a blockbuster exchange between the Winnipeg Jets and the Calgary Flames.
McGroarty is seeking a change of scenery, and the Calgary Flames might just be the ideal trade partner. Recent rumors suggest that the Flames are open to trading their top-four defenseman, Rasmus Andersson, which has sparked speculation about a potential deal between these two teams.
For the Jets, acquiring a player of Andersson's caliber could be a game-changer. As a right-shot defenseman, Andersson brings the kind of stability and two-way play that could complement Winnipeg's defensive core. Pairing him with Josh Morrissey or Dylan Samberg would give the Jets a formidable top-four that could anchor the team's blue line for years to come.
As for the Flames, acquiring a prospect like Rutger McGroarty would make a lot of sense. The Flames are currently in a huge transition phase concerning a franchise rebuild, and adding a prospect like McGroarty would bolster their efforts.
There's a lot of aspects about the city of Calgary that would be appealing to McGroarty, including a new downtown arena an easier route to guaranteed NHL ice-time.
