Rutger McGroarty has become a major headache for the Winnipeg Jets, and in this latest proposal, they get a top-four defenseman in exchange for him.

Heading into this off-season, the hope in Winnipeg was that top prospect Rutger McGroarty would officially transition to the NHL and look to earn a spot in this lineup. Unfortunately, the exact opposite has happened, as the young prospect, yet to make his NHL debut has become a headache for the team, demanding playing time in the NHL before eventually committing to the University of Michigan once more.

Unsurprisingly, he's now become a major trade candidate, as the Jets seemingly don't want to deal with the attitude, and now a recent trade proposal would see the team land a bonafide top pairing defenseman for the disgruntled prospect.

The deal would see Winnipeg acquire former second-round pick Rasmus Andersson, who has excelled in recent years with the Flames, posting seasons of 50, 49 and 39 points over the past three seasons. As for Calgary, they would be getting a very talented prospect who is ready to take to the NHL right now, and with the rebuild well and truly under way, this could give them a potential top line winger for years to come.

It's clear that Winnipeg want to move on from McGroarty, and with the Flames looking towards the future, moving Andersson wouldn't be a bad move, so if this was a deal to be made, both teams could potentially come out big winners.
