NHL Shockwaves: Winnipeg Jets’ Radical Move and Utah Mammoth’s Mysterious Rise Unveiled!

In the whirlwind world of NHL chatter, let me peel back the curtain on what’s not happening between the Winnipeg Jets and the Seattle Kraken—no whispers about Shane Wright bouncing back and forth yet. It’s like waiting for a plot twist in a slow-burn thriller. According to insider Darren Dreger, the Jets are locking their focus on charging hard for wins, not trade rumors. But here’s the kicker — should the Jets decide to flip the script and hit “sell mode,” defenseman Logan Stanley might just be the wild card that piques some serious interest—and not to mention, could nudge their draft pick into a sweeter spot. Meanwhile, contract talks? Still crickets on that front for Stanley. The NHL landscape keeps shifting beneath our feet, but one thing’s clear: Winnipeg’s game plan is all about the ice right now, not the negotiation table. LEARN MORE

The Jets and Kraken haven’t talked about Shane Wright, and Logan Stanley could be made available if the Jets go into sell mode

TSN: The Winnipeg Jets are focusing on winning and not any trade speculation, according to Darren Dreger.

“What I can tell you is that if we’re relating speculation for Seattle and Winnipeg, there’s been no conversation between those two clubs about the potential availability of Shane Wright. Now, maybe that changes down the road.”

If they Jets go into sell mode, pending UFA defenseman Logan Stanley would generate some interest, and by moving him, increase their odds of a better pick. There have been no extension talks to date between the Jets and Stanley.

Keep an eye on the Utah Mammoth

Friedman: “I’ll tell you, Kyle, one team that people did say to me wants to do something to help make the playoffs and really do something is Utah. I got a lot of people saying, watch Utah. I don’t necessarily know if that means Panarin.

But they, Utah’s in a spot right now. They’re three points up, they’re wild card. One, you know, the big challenge for them is they’re probably locked in there. They’re, they’re not going to catch Colorado, Minnesota or Dallas. They’re in a tough spot.

So they’re, they their only route looks like it’s the wild card. They’re three up on the Sharks, the Kings and the Kraken.

…

But I think, I think Utah is a team that, you know, people say, ‘Look out. Look out for them. They want to do something,’ and they’ve got a lot of stuff.”

NHL Rumors: Elias Pettersson’s Agent, and the Vancouver Canucks

Bukauskas: “Yeah, you could feel it to that point. You could feel it build in with them. Obviously, the Cooley injury changed things for a little bit, but they too have dug back in and put themselves in the conversation. And you know, between Bill and Chris Armstrong, you want to reward that, along with the rest of the fan base and Ryan Smith, for that matter.”
