Five teams interested in Mark Scheifele trade including Boston Bruins
As the Winnipeg Jets continue their retooling efforts, their focus has shifted to trading key players like Connor Hellebuyck and Mark Scheifele.
While centers are in higher demand than goaltenders, finding the right trade partner has proven challenging for the Jets. With the rush of free agency over and most teams having their rosters set, options for Scheifele's destination are dwindling.
Two teams that stand out as potential fits for Scheifele are the Boston Bruins and Minnesota Wild. Both teams have enough cap space and a need for a top-six center, making Scheifele an attractive option to bolster their center depth.
The Nashville Predators, Columbus Blue Jackets, and Ottawa Senators are other teams that could make a trade work. The Predators, despite undergoing changes, still aim to make the playoffs and could greatly benefit from Scheifele's presence.
The Blue Jackets, with their weak center depth, could use a proven top-six center like Scheifele to enhance their forward group. As for the Senators, if they part ways with DeBrincat, acquiring a player of Scheifele's caliber for a season could be an appealing option.
The Jets face a time-sensitive decision regarding Scheifele's future, as they risk losing him for nothing next offseason. Finding a suitable trade and securing a good return will be crucial for the team's ongoing efforts to remain competitive.
