I will compare him to Johnny Gaudeau but a little bit bigger and not as productive in the regular season. Believe me, I like Kyle connor, and I hate the idea that we would have to trade him, but again, you can't just trade away #### and expect good returns.

Oh I agree that to get something you have to give something but I would build around Morrissey, Connor and Ehlers.
Trade Wheeler for a pick and prospect as he will be a UFA next summer. Schiefele I think can get more of a return even though he is in the same situation as Wheeler. Dubois is the interesting one. If he wants to stay as an RFA, keep him. Otherwise ship him out too.
In terms of Hellebuyck, I think he has to be moved as well. There are other goalies around the league who will be making 5-6 M less. Winnipeg can use that on another defenseman.
Winnipeg has really good pieces. Just need to upgrade in certain areas.
