Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Solar: (mailbag) The Winnipeg Jets unsuccessfully tried to commerce prospect Rutger McGroarty on the draft. There appears to be a disagreement on his developmental path.
It’s been reported that different groups have been turning down offers as a result of McGroarty allegedly desires a roster spot handed to him. We are able to’t assume that the state of affairs isn’t fixable with the Jet.
McGroarty and his camp are doing what they assume is finest to higher his state of affairs, and being school participant, they’ve a novel loophole and it’s inside their rights to make use of it.
Is McGroarty getting the best recommendation presently? It’s exhausting to say. Consider that the Jets and the town would welcome him again if given the chance.
The Jets tried to re-sign Sean Monahan and Adam Henrique was a failed backup plan. Undecided what route they’re heading in now. They tried to signal different free brokers and misplaced out on them.
Suppose they’re in search of a second-line middle and a top-four right-handed defenseman. Nikolaj Ehlers and Rutger McGroarty are getting used as commerce bait for one or each.
