When it comes to the pending unrestricted free agent status of defenseman Logan Stanley, there’s one thing that can’t happen in the conversation about trading him or signing him to a medium- or long-term contract: you can’t let him walk on July 1 for nothing. Cam and Jim share their thoughts on what to do with Stanley. Is now the time to trade him while his stock may be higher than it will ever be? After investing all this time and patience into his development -- and with Stanley now playing the best hockey of his NHL career -- how do you justify moving on from him, especially if he wants to stay?

If a first-round pick is offered, do you pull the trigger? The Jets were also able to pull victory from the jaws of defeat Tuesday against the Chicago Blackhawks, with Cole Perfetti scoring late to force overtime before Mark Scheifele ended it with a walk-off winner. The frustration, though, is this: why did it take staring down a likely season-ending loss for the Jets to finally pull it together, play their system, and dominate their opponent? What gives?
