The Winnipeg Jets began their off-season with a major trade involving Pierre-Luc Dubois. Now, rumors are circulating that another top center from their lineup might be on the trading block.
Scheifele On The Block?
Mark Scheifele has been an integral component of the Jets for more than ten years, playing in over 700 games for the franchise. However, it seems there's a growing issue between him and the team.
With his sights set on a Stanley Cup chase and the Jets focusing on nurturing their young talent after the Dubois deal, it's becoming more apparent that this iconic player might be departing sooner than later.

However, the Jets emphasize that they won't just hand over Scheifele. NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman reported that they'll need a worthy replacement in return.
I have heard that they've kind of indicated if they go from Dubois and Scheifele to no Dubois and Scheifele, they'd better make sure if they're making that trade they get a replacement.
Friedman's recent scoop suggests that the Jets would only consider a trade for their veteran player if a good center is part of the bargain. Given they acquired Gabe Vilardi in the Dubois deal, this perspective aligns.
