from Paul Friesen of the Winnipeg Sun,

The addition of Trouba, probably the team’s best player on the blue line before Dustin Byfuglien reclaimed his kingdom, complicates matters further, and will no doubt have someone like Jay Harrison looking over his shoulder.

Enter GM Kevin Cheveldayoff, given a prime opportunity to improve his team where it needs it most: up front.

This won’t be easy. But as they say, no pain, no gain.

Cheveldayoff could just put Pardy, Postma and Harrison on the market and see what offers he gets.

The return would be minimal, though — likely a late-round draft pick.

Sending them down to the minors risks losing them for nothing in a waiver claim.

Some of the Jets’ more valuable pieces — Stuart, Zach Bogosian, Toby Enstrom, even Byfuglien — will have to be in play.

Sacrilege, you say?

Not really.

Just good business.
