He wouldnt be a top 4.
Enstrom
Byfuglien
Bogosion
Hainsey
The Jets have Stuart/Clitsome/Postma to fill out the bottom pairing.
Trouba is also looking pretty good, wouldnt suprise me if he makes the Jets next year.

He said that Winnipeg needs a "LHD, perferably puck moving, but doesn't need to have a dynamite shot" and that describes Ballard.
If Ballard plays like he did prior to arriving in Vancouver, then you get a top 4 d-man and it makes Hainsey expendable.
His style of play never meshed well with Vancouver's system, and a change of scenery would be very good for him.
