Thanks Sandman. Wonder if something like this would work:
To Winnipeg:
Andersson (50% retained)
Posposil
To Calgary:
Yager
2026 first round pick (top 10 protected)
2025 2nd round pick
It’s an all in move for the Jets. Winnipeg gets two impact players (to varying degrees). I think Posposil has the makings of a really important depth player in the playoffs and I think other teams will covet that as well. Retaining 50% on Andersson maximizes his value. Calgary gets a top center prospect and a first round pick in next years draft instead of this years draft which I think works better for Calgary as next years draft should be deeper than this one. I could see the argument for this being an overpay by either side in this scenario.
Calgary is essentially getting magic beans for Andersson in this trade so it’s a big risk I guess… but it’s very rare for any team to ever trade their top prospect if they are not getting a top prospect in return. The downside for Calgary with Winnipeg as a trade partner is that I’m not sure Yager has much potential as a top six centre. Could be wrong though. Just remember comments that said his offensive upside might be limited.
