Winnipeg Jets almost traded Cole Perfetti

This trade was likely contingent on Necas signing a long-term deal with the Jets, which could be why it fell apart if true.

If this deal was close to happening, the value isn't bad for either side. The Hurricanes would win the deal in the long-term outlook, but considering McGroarty likely won't play for the Jets, most trades that include him will have the other team being the winner in hindsight. This kind of trade is what the Jets are likely hoping to pull off when they deal him because if they trade him as an asset on his own, they probably won't get a fair return.
