Winnipeg Jets Linked to New Trade Target From Rival Canadian Team

The Winnipeg Jets, like no one expected currently hold the best record in the entire NHL as we near the mid-way point of the season, and it appears they're ready to go all-in for a Stanley Cup.

Winnipeg expected to be busy at the trade deadline

With an elite goaltender and depth throughout their skating group, the Jets are in prime position to go all-in for a deep Stanley Cup run, and to do that they'll need to take a risk at the trade deadline.

We've already seen them linked to the likes of Elias Lindholm and Sean Monahan, but now, top NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman has linked them to another player from a Canadian rival.

Mathieu Joseph to Winnipeg?

With solid depth and star power on their forward group, the Jets are unlikely to chase a superstar forward, but instead a good, solid forward that can come in and contribute, and now Friedman has revealed the fit of Mathieu Joseph in Winnipeg.

The 26-year old winger has spent the last three seasons in Ottawa and is on pace for a career year in 2023-24, with 6 goals and 19 points through his first 27 games, and if the Jets are looking for a cheap option, he may just be the best one available.
