I wonder about Yager.
He's actually not a guy Winnipeg drafted. He was just the best asset they could get in return for a guy who wouldn't sign for them.
They actually might be less attached to him than some of their other prospects and Winnipeg could really use another top dman if they want to make a serious run this year.
They had a great season last year to then lose round 1 to Colorado. They got off to a great start this year but have just been good since (11-8-1). And they have Ehlers, Iafallo, Appleton, Namestikov, Pionk as UFAs this year and Connor as UFA next year.
It's kind of now or never for them to push some chips in again like they did last season and I think this year they might prefer a guy with some term like Andersson.
