Feels like Winnipeg would want more, and Karlsson can likely be had for a bit less.

Winnipeg would want someone better than Ostlund and Ehlers would instantly be a top line player for you.

All that for William Karlsson? I wouldn't give up a top 15 pick for him and you're adding Kulich

Tuch-Tage-JJP was cooking end of last season. Top line forwards on L2 is a problem I'm okay having. When Marchand and Pasta don't play together one is technically on L2.
There's not much better than Ostlund value wise in anyone's pipeline so not sure what you're looking for outside of an additional piece.

I think you're grossly undervaluing a complete 2way, 60+point, centre with 3 years left at an affordable AAV.

That doesn't fill any needs for the Jets. I think they'd look elsewhere.

Who's 31, only has one 60 point season and is actively being pushed down the lineup by his current team because they know his play is declining.

That's not a player you give up premium assets for unless you're a contender and are missing a piece. Not a middle of the road team that has more players closer to their prime with the pick and prospect than the player you're bringing in
