Today a new reporter has urged the Winnipeg Jets to trade one of their youngest and most promising defensemen for players that can make an impact now. Earlier this week <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/winnipeg-jets/sportsnet-reporter-suggests-several-potential-trades-to-take-the-winnipeg-jets-to-the-next-level' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Jason Bukala of Sportsnet revealed that he believes the Winnipeg Jets need to make a major splash at the NHL Trade Deadline.</a> At the time, Bukala suggested that the Jets should trade future assets such as draft picks to bring in as much NHL-ready talent as possible. Today a report from Jacob Stoller of Sportsnet has doubled down on his colleague's take and suggested that the Jets should trade former top prospect Ville Heinola. <h3>Reporter Urges The Winnipeg Jets To Trade Ville Heinola In A Win Now Move</h3> In his latest column, Stoller spoke about the idea of trading away Ville Heinola to bring in a big haul of current talent to try and load up for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Heinola was seen as a top young player in the Winnipeg Jets organization after making his debut at 18 years old. However, since then Heinola has struggled to carve out a bigger role with the Jets playing just 16 NHL games this season and tallying only one point. Compound Heinola's struggles with the fact that Dylan Samberg is having a breakout year and is one of head coach Scott Arniel's favorites and Heinola becomes a lot more expendable. It's been a tough two years for him. I'm probably Samberg's biggest fan here. I wanna see him, Arniel said Stoller goes on to point out that Heinola has been a healthy scratch for essentially every game since Samberg returned and doesn't seem to have a likely path back into the lineup. Since Samberg returned on Jan. 10, Heinola, who has recorded just one point in 16 games this year, has been a healthy scratch in all but two of the team's last 13 games. If the Jets have given up on Heinola's long-term development then a trade is likely the best option for all those involved. At just 23 years old Heinola likely still holds an incredible amount of trade value and could land the Jets a truly impactful player if packaged along with other assets. While the Jets aren't expected to make any massive deadline deals trading off Heinola for a quality player is one the team absolutely needs to consider going forward.
