NHL trade rumors: 3 teams who should trade for Max Domi

3. Winnipeg Jets

Bryan Little’s injury is concerning for the Winnipeg Jets. They probably want to add someone who can step in as the second line center if need be. Max Domi fits that bill perfectly. Despite his sub-par box car stats, Domi’s a proven player who can drive offense extremely well. He’d fit right in with Winnipeg’s up-tempo offense.

Also, the Jets have precisely what the Canadiens want – wings. Our friends at A Winning Habit seem to think Nikolaj Ehlers could be the target, but I think Kyle Connor would make a bit more sense.

First of all, Ehlers is one of the Jets most important forwards. I don’t think they’re trading him. If they do, they’re probably not getting anything close to fair value, even if the return includes Domi. Ehlers is one of the few wings who can drive a line. Connor has historically struggled away from Mark Scheifele.

For Connor to be traded, the Jets should seek a significant return. One that includes more than just Max Domi. Montreal has a very deep prospect pool and has a lot of draft picks. I think the Canadiens have what it takes to make an offer Winnipeg can’t refuse. Connor would provide Montreal with a wing who can score and Domi would give the Jets more depth.
