Winnipeg definitely adds another option for teams looking for players this offseason. Dubois, Hellebuyck and Wheeler are apparently available. Although those are different kinds of players than what the flames may be offering in trades to other teams… the picks or prospects that they could return could be comparable and therefore could be used on the Winnipeg players instead.

For example, if Buffalo were interested in a goaltender and a defenceman this offseason, which one would they choose to use their first round pick (13th overall) on? Hellebuyck or Hanifin? If they choose Hellebuyck, I don’t see Buffalo as as good a fit in a trade for Hanifin unless Buffalo is willing to trade one of their top 4 prospects for him.

Similarly if Carolina went after Dubois instead of Lindholm/Backlund.
