Is this what I want to happen or what I expect to happen? If it's what I want to happen then I'll go with a somewhat believable scenario.
So Jets finish 5th but because of VGK are pushed back to 6th. Which we use to draft Valimaki.
We trade Perreault at the XD to a team looking to upgrade over their protected guys at wing and get picks and maybe prospects. We sign Thorburn to a 1 year $2 mil contract for XD purposes. We also try to trade Myers and manage to find a taker. He is moved for picks/prospects. VGK takes Matthias
We sign Tucker Poolman to an entry level deal and he shows well in TC. Chevy and Trouba's agent get a deal done before training camp that locks Trouba up long term with the Jets. He's our #1 going forward. Connor and Roslovic both make the team out of TC. We acquire Kulikov and Mason in FA.
Forwards
Laine - Scheifele - Ehlers
Connor - Little - Wheeler
Petan - Roslovic - Dano
Copp - Lowry - Armia
De Leo
Defence
Morrissey - Trouba
Kulikov - Buff
Enstrom - Poolman
Chiarot, Stuart
Goalies
Mason
Hellebuyck
