Another possibility is Byfuglien. Winnipeg has Schiefele, Trouba, Clitsome and Ladd to give contracts after next season along with Byfuglien. Yet Trouba and Myers are better to keep going forward based on age and potential/performance. They could keep Byfuglien but it would be a luxury at that point that they might not be willing to spend for.

I don't watch a lot of Jets games but Byfuglien seems like the heart and soul leader of that team. Doubt they let him go.
