The cap and roster are legal, and the Danforth-for-EDM-6th swap is entirely plausible as a minor depth move. The big piece is the Buffalo–Winnipeg deal: two late firsts plus Luukkonen, Kulich, Doan, and Morozov is a strong package, but you’re asking a retooling Jets team to move both Scheifele and Hellebuyck (each with four more years at $8.5M and NMCs) plus Lambert. Given Scheifele just put up 103 points and Lambert is still a 22-year-old asset, Winnipeg would likely push for either a higher-end young roster player or an additional premium pick/prospect, especially with Buffalo already a 109‑point team and those firsts projecting late. Nothing is outright illegal, and the values aren’t wildly off, but it’s optimistic that Winnipeg both convinces two NMC veterans to waive and accepts this exact package without a blue-chip centerpiece or more futures. With a slightly richer return to the Jets, this kind of blockbuster could be workable, but as written it leans a bit light for Winnipeg’s side given their standings and contract control on Scheifele and Hellebuyck.
