NHL insider David Pagnotta has revealed that the Winnipeg Jets are officially open to trading Colby Barlow if it means fetching a massive return haul. The Winnipeg Jets are leading the NHL standings and squarely in the conversation for the Stanley Cup. With the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline approaching, <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/winnipeg-jets/nhl-insider-john-lu-reveals-who-the-jets-could-be-adding-at-the-trade-deadline' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>they're likely to be one of the more active buyers.</a> <h3>The Jets are willing to trade top prospects to go all-in for the Stanley Cup</h3> They're even said to be willing to deal a blue-chip prospect in an effort to bolster their roster, according to one insider. <a href='https://x.com/TheFourthPeriod' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>David Pagnotta</a> of 'The Fourth Period' recently made an appearance on 'Winnipeg Sports Talk' to talk about the team's trade plans. He told host Andrew Paterson that the Jets are employing former first-round draft pick Colby Barlow as bait in negotiations. Taken 18th overall at the 2023 NHL Draft, Barlow has become one of the best players in the Ontario Hockey League. (Colby) Barlow's name is out there now as a piece that they are dangling to get a bigger fish, Pagnotta said. No guarantees they do it. And this may translate into a search come the offseason to add somebody in a top-six kind of role, or that caliber player. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/SportsTalkWPG/status/1894513080182145431'> </a></blockquote></div> <a href='https://www.nhl.com/jets/player/colby-barlow-8484143' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Barlow</a> scored 40 goals in 50 games last season playing for the Owen Sound Attack and has played outstandingly well this season playing for the Oshawa Generals with 29 goals and 23 assists in 52 games. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/OHLHockey/status/1883170461934289267'> </a></blockquote></div> If Pagnotta is correct, the Jets could be positioning themselves for a massive trade. Barlow is one of the team's top prospects and has enormous value in a trade. If he is included, it would signal Winnipeg's intentions to go full-bore in pursuit of a Stanley Cup in 2025. With under two weeks left until the deadline, his name is worth tracking.
