The Jets are now 14 points back from the 3rd seed, 12 points back from WC#1, and 5 points back from WC #2, with a gaggle of competition, all while in a tailspin (5-game losing streak). It's safe to start making preparations to sell. This year might be pretty rough at the deadline because most of the playoff teams already look set - there will be more sellers than last year.
On the table with some value are:
Paul Stastny - 36 years old, UFA, $3.75 million. He's still got great puck sense, 17 pts in 27 games.
Andrew Copp - 27 years old, UFA, $3.64 million. Total of 27 pts in 38 games. Can play anywhere in the lineup, PP, PK, lots of talent. He's getting paid this off-season.
Nathan Beaulieu - 29 years old, UFA, $1.25 million. Depth for your playoff run.
Brenden Dillon - 31 years old, $3.9 million x2 after this season. Big, heavy defensive game. Hasn't worked out for us somehow.
What does your team offer?
Also, if anyone wants Wheeler with $8.25M x2 left after this year, he's all yours.
