In principle, I so much agree with this. I have been preaching that gospel here for years. But - for Jets this year is unusual. The team has real potential to contend. Top 4 in the league goalie, true #1C, true #1 D, good depth and a coach who might be able to get them playing as an effective unit. Couple that with the strong group of prospects and this is the year to try to match the competition with rental upgrades.
Some of the TDL rentals do end up fitting and make a difference. You never know which ones until the games are played. Avs had a big hole at 2C. If Mitts adapts to the new team quickly that will be a difference maker for them. Whether he will or not remains to be seen.
IF Mony and Toffoli can help us get by Avs then they are worth the cost. That too remains to be seen.
