Besides Morrissey, Samberg, Stanley and Heinola at the NHL level, there is only LHD Haydn Fleury, Dmitri Kuzmin and the recently drafted Alfons Freij in the Jets organization.
Fleury could likely end up on waivers, Kuzmin spent more time at the ECHL level then he did at the AHL level in his 1st pro season in North America and Freij is years away from making any kind of impact in the pros.
The Jets are kinda lacking in LHD depth at the moment so a smooth skating prospect that’s not too far from NHL readiness in Emil Andrae wouldn’t hurt in acquiring as he and Cates should be fair value in return for Namestnikov who has gained a little value himself since being acquired by the Jets.
