Today a new report from Elliotte Friedman has provided a key update on the Winnipeg Jets pursuit of Jared McCann from the Seattle Kraken. A few days ago <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/winnipeg-jets/winnipeg-jets-connected-to-a-top-six-center-from-the-western-conference-in-a-potential-deadline-deal' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Jacob Stoller of Sportsnet first linked the Winnipeg Jets to Jared McCann</a> as the trade deadline approaches. Since Stoller made that report, other sources have been checking in on the situation and looking to see if McCann is really available and if the Winnipeg Jets could be one of the front runners to land him if he is traded. Tonight a report from Elliotte Friedman has confirmed the status of McCann with the Kraken and what it could mean for the Jets' pursuit of him come deadline day. <h3>Elliotte Friedman Provides An Update On Jared McCann</h3> During his latest edition of the 32 Thoughts Podcast Elliotte Friedman gave an update on McCann and Seattle's plans with him. According to Friedman's sources, the Kraken are not the ones initiating the trade talks and trying to move McCann but other teams from around the league continue to call trying to pry McCann away from the Kraken. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/nhl_watcher/status/1890436372466450444'> </a></blockquote></div> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHLTradeAlert/status/1890416445609148508'> </a></blockquote></div> This likely means it would take a significant trade package for the Kraken to be willing to move on from McCann in a trade. With the Jets sitting in first place in the Western Conference many sources around the league believe they will make a couple of big additions at the trade deadline to bolster their lineup, particularly up front. The Jets do have a lot of assets to move to potentially land a player like McCann it just comes down to whether they believe he is worth a high price. As the deadline comes closer Friedman and other sources will continue to provide updates on the Winnipeg Jets trade candidates including Jared McCann. Once those updates are provided by the insiders we will bring the news to you.
