Darren Dreger recently revealed that the Jets are going to be very aggressive at the trade deadline and that the team is willing to spend to acquire players. <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/winnipeg-jets/elliotte-friedman-reveals-three-players-the-jets-could-target-before-the-trade-deadline' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>The Winnipeg Jets are ready to make their play</a> as the NHL trade deadline is near. They're the league leaders at 42-16-4, and they're early favorites for the Stanley Cup. <h3>Many players unfortunately have Winnipeg on their no-trade list</h3> Any one player would stack up at an opportunity to play for a playoff team, at least on paper. A past 'The Athletic' poll revealed Winnipeg is usually near the top of players' no-trade lists, so deadline deals are not easy. But that won't stop GM Kevin Cheveldayoff and his team from trying. TSN's <a href='https://x.com/DarrenDreger' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Darren Dreger</a> reports the Jets are open to being aggressive in assembling their roster. For the right fit, Kevin Cheveldayoff and the Winnipeg Jets are willing to spend, Dreger said. Everything from Brock Nelson to a depth forward up front to a quality experienced defenseman. Everything is on the table. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHL_Watcher/status/1897072667074945475'> </a></blockquote></div> While there are no obvious soft spots, they're eager to solidify whenever they can. They've come up short in the past with this group, but the atmosphere is different this season. Connor Hellebuyck remains the league's top goalie, Kyle Connor leads with 74 points, and 11 forwards have reached the 20-point plateau. Trade clauses are a problem, but Winnipeg's front office isn't going to give up trying to obtain reinforcements. They've been deadline buyers forever, and 2025 will be no different. They do face stumbling blocks, Dreger said. And that's the no-trade clause that some players carry with them. But they're pursuing every opportunity. There's a strong appetite to strengthen whatever this Cup run looks like. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHLrumorsX/status/1896660060354572339'> </a></blockquote></div> They traded away high draft picks to obtain Sean Monahan and Tyler Toffoli last year. Expect them to be players again.
