Schenn, Stanley among Jets trade candidates — The Fourth Period
The Winnipeg Jets sit 11 points out of a playoff spot in the Western Conference and the team has begun its focus on next season and its summer plans ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.
With the trade deadline approaching in 10 days, Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff has been engaged in trade talks to both sell off some of his players and potentially add to his roster – though any major addition would result in a player having term on his contract.
Jets defenceman Luke Schenn and Logan Stanley are two prime candidates to be moved this season, by the March 6 deadline, and Cheveldayoff is navigating those trade discussions.
Both Schenn and Stanley rank among the players on TFP’s latest Trade Watch List, and both players are eligible to become unrestricted free agents July 1.
As TFP’s David Pagnotta first reported on Jan. 7, Schenn is open to a change of scenery and is hoping to join a Stanley Cup contender.
Several teams are looking to bolster their blueline, including the Tampa Bay Lightning, Detroit Red Wings, Edmonton Oilers, Boston Bruins and Carolina Hurricanes, and may be poking around the Jets for either Schenn or Stanley.
Goalie Eric Comrie and forwards Jonathan Toews, Gustav Nyquist and Tanner Pearson are some of the other Jets players on expiring contracts.
The Jets currently sit 14th in the West with a 22-26-8 record and 52 points.
