NHL trade grades: Tyler Toffoli gives Winnipeg Jets a boost up front
New York TimesFollow the latest NHL trade deadline news in The Athletic’s live blog. The trade Winnipeg Jets get: Forward Tyler Toffoli New Jersey Devils get: 2025 second-round pick, 2024 third-round pick Eric Duhatschek: This is the third time in his career that Toffoli’s been traded to a Canadian NHL team at the deadline. Toffoli isn’t the fastest player – never really was – but he’s got good hockey sense and instincts and often finds himself in the right place at the right time in the defensive zone. The Flames traded him to New Jersey in the summer and the Devils were ready to move on from Toffoli not because they didn’t like what he brought but because they couldn’t come to terms on a contract extension, which was also the reason Calgary traded him last summer. Someone of Toffoli’s caliber feels right to round out the top six and make the Jets’ forward group a lot deeper.
