The Winnipeg Jets continue the arms race in the NHL's Western Conference. Just a few hours before the Friday trade deadline, the Jets announced they have acquired winger Tyler Toffoli from the New Jersey Devils.

In return the Jets sent a 2025 second-round pick and a 2024 third-round pick to the Devils. New Jersey will also retain 50% of Toffoli's $4.25 million salary.

Toffoli, 31, is playing on an expiring contract this season after being traded from the Calgary Flames to the New Jersey last summer. Toffoli and the Devils were expected to be true Stanley Cup contenders this year, but the team has struggled just to remain in the playoff race. To be fair, Toffoli has pulled his share of the weight with 26 goals and 18 assists in 61 games.
