Defenseman Emerging as Winnipeg Jets' Best Option for the Trade Deadline

The Winnipeg Jets will be looking to add to their roster come trade deadline day, and this potential move could shore up their defence if they choose to make it.

Jets Could Make A Move To Aquire This Defenseman

If the Winnipeg Jets are going to make a move at the deadline, they should be considering their options now. Many fans and analysts are calling for the Jets to add a defenseman, like what seems like every other team in the NHL, to shore up their blueline for a post-season push.

However, the Jets defensively aren't doing that bad. If they were looking to add on the blue line, one option could be Andrew Peeke from the Columbus Blue Jackets. Logan Cooley is rumoured to have interest across the league and could be the other half of the move, along with a second-round pick they acquired from LA.

Jets Will Need That Extra Piece to Be a True Contender

The Jets are sitting in a nice position in the standings, although I am sure they would like to find that one extra piece that would make them a problem for any team in the playoffs. Right now, their blueline is just fine, however, they want to be great to make a run down the line.


We will see what the Jets decide to do at the deadline.
