Winnipeg Jets defenseman Logan Stanley has emerged as a potential trade target ahead of the NHL's March 6 trade deadline. The 27-year-old is in the final year of his contract and is having a career-best season, with 9 goals and 18 points in 55 games. Stanley addressed the trade rumors directly, saying he's leaving contract negotiations to his agent and is simply taking things 'day-by-day' as the deadline approaches.
Why it matters
The Jets have struggled this season and could look to make moves at the deadline. Stanley's strong play has boosted his trade value, but the team may also try to re-sign him to a new deal. His future with the organization remains uncertain as the deadline nears.
The details
Stanley was selected 18th overall by the Jets in the 2016 NHL Draft and has spent his entire 10-year career with the organization. This season, he has set career highs in goals (9) and points (18) in 55 games. With the Jets underperforming and sitting 11 points out of a playoff spot, Stanley could be an attractive trade target for teams looking to bolster their blue line for a playoff push. Stanley's current contract carries a $1.25 million cap hit, but his camp is reportedly seeking a raise to the $4-5 million range on his next deal.
- The NHL trade deadline is on March 6, 2026.
