What is the trade market like for Mark Scheifele?

Frank Seravalli was joined by Mike McKenna to discuss the trade market for Mark Scheifele on the latest episode of Daily Faceoff Live.

Frank Seravalli: Mike, so when it comes to the Winnipeg Jets, the one team we didn’t talk about today that’s facing some big questions, what’s the market like for Mark Scheifele?

Mike McKenna: Well, 40 goals scored for a centerman who just turned 30. At $6 million for one year, this is easily first-round pick and prospect territory and maybe then some, I would think. What’s your take on it?

Frank Seravalli: I think it’s a bargain AAV for next year at the very least, even if you’re only thinking about having this guy for one year. If you want to re-sign him for longer then great, but at $6 million at that number his production has been way higher than his cap hit on this entire contract. I agree with you, I think if you’re ranking the Jets in terms of value, to me it’s still Pierre-Luc Dubois at number one, Connor Hellebuyck at number two only because teams generally don’t get a lot for goalies and they’re going to have to pay Hellebuyck, three is Scheifele, and a distant fourth is Blake Wheeler.
