Sitting 10 points back of a Wild Card spot in the Western Conference, the team must start facing facts that this is just a lost year. <\/p>\n<p>And while 36-year-old defenseman Luke Schenn is one of the more obvious trade candidates on an expiring contract, another, much younger (and larger) d-man has generated a lot of interest. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefourthperiod.com\/pagnotta\/kadri-open-to-being-traded\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Insider David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period<\/a> tells us that Logan Stanley will apparently be on the move. <\/p>\n<p>Sources suggest to me that Logan Stanley is a very likely candidate to be traded this season. The Jets have not had formal contract negotiations with his agent and there&#8217;s a strong belief out there that Stanley will be dealt.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8216;Stanimal&#8217; is having a breakout season, moving from being a depth defender to a full-time member of the Jets blueline. He&#8217;s already set career highs offensively with eight goals and 17 points in 52 games. He had never scored more than a single goal in his previous five NHL seasons. He&#8217;s even seen some power play time recently.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, his 16:32 average ice time per game is a minute more than his previous high. He&#8217;s handed out 83 hits and blocked 62 shots. He also has a career high 95 penalty minutes. The mammoth 6&#8217;7&#8243; d-man&#8217;s willingness to get physical, and drop the gloves when necessary has made him a fan favorite for some in Winnipeg (while others lament his occasional troubles with the puck).<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s in the final year of a two-year, $1.25 million AAV, and is due for a big raise. Some suggest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.winnipegfreepress.com\/breakingnews\/2026\/01\/23\/should-he-stay-or-should-he-go#:~:text=Some%20will%20argue%20Stanley&#039;s%20value,defensive%20game%20more%20than%20anything.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">he could command<\/a> close to the $4M or $5M range. &#8220;He&#8217;s gonna cash in on a pretty solid ticket as a free agent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everything that I&#8217;ve been told now is that it looks like this is gonna end in some type of trade,&#8221; concludes Pagnotta. &#8220;There&#8217;s gonna be a lot of interest in this player with how he&#8217;s playing this season and with a sweetheart cap hit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Photo: \u00a9 James Carey Lauder-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-language-override: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 2px;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Winnipeg Jets will be sellers as we approach the trade deadline.
