32 Thoughts Podcast | Winnipeg Jets prospect Rutger McGroarty’s name has come up in trade conversations

Bit of a Saturday news bombshell from Elliotte Friedman on the 32 Thoughts Podcast which was released this morning. He and Jeff Marek were chatting on it and the subject of the Jets 2022 1st rounder Rutger McGorarty was brought up by the insider. He had this to say:

“So I’m gonna be really careful here Jeff because there’s are a lot of answers I don’t have. His family advisor is not talking and the Jets are not talking but the one thing I can tell you is that I have heard his name has come up in trade discussions.

That the Jets have discussed trading and other teams have discussed acquiring McGroarty’s rights.

Now you’ll remember a few months ago after the NCAA season McGroarty announced he was going back to Michigan for his junior year and the Jets have his rights for two more years.

And again I’m not gonna guess on anything here but I’m simply going to say that I’ve heard his name has come up in trade conversations.

So we’ll see where this all goes over the next couple of weeks. He’s a good player and he would be coveted.”

Might this become a way the Jets get back into the 1st round of the 2024 draft? Perhaps. Stay tuned.
