<a href='https://www.nhl.com/jets/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>The Winnipeg Jets</a> are attempting to bolster their roster for a deep playoff run, and they have now been linked to a former Stanley Cup champion defenseman. A <a href='https://www.nhl.com/penguins/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Pittsburgh Penguins</a> blue-man who is 31, <a href='https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/boston-bruins/latest-news/former-bruins-defender-having-big-season' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>has been a target for weeks</a> with just one month remaining until the March 7 trade deadline. Teams linked to him are the Colorado Avalanche, Winnipeg Jets, and Tampa Bay Lightning, according to *The Fourth Period*. <h3><a href='https://www.nhl.com/penguins/player/matt-grzelcyk-8476891' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Matt Grzelcyk </a> is having a career season</h3> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/nhltraderumors/status/1887131117238522132'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <a href='https://puckpedia.com/player/matt-grzelcyk' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Signed for a one-year, $2.75-million free-agent contract</a>, Matt Grzelcyk has a career-high 27 points in 55 games, 10 of which are power-play markers. With a chance to move to a contender, general manager Kyle Dubas will sell high with Grzelcyk, and a particularly desperate scenario in Winnipeg, who are desperate for their first-ever deep playoff run, is a strong suitor for him. «He's a guy that can step in and help a contender right away,» an NHL executive told The Fourth Period. Winnipeg and Colorado are believed to view Grzelcyk as a cheaper alternative to higher-profile trade targets. Grzelcyk's puck-rushing and power-play value make him an ideal target for a Winnipeg blue unit in desperate need in both departments. «Grzelcyk, not Erik Karlsson or Kris Letang, is quarterbacking the Penguins' power play and making an impact offensively.» <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/SNPittsburgh/status/1886951504172474860'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Winnipeg GM Kevin Cheveldayoff has him in consideration, both for a blue-shoe skater to lock down a playoff run and for his veteran experience. Grzelcyk's value could ignite a bidding war with a month to go in the buying period in the league. Grzelcyk's value is roughly a third-round pick, but bidding could drive that price even higher, and with a month to go, one of these general managers could go big and steal him with a larger offer, one that keeps him off the roster of another team vying for a Stanley Cup.
