I’d rather pay Lowry than stas. He seems more consistent. Lowry both drives play better and defends a much better 3c long term.

I think Stastny is likely as good as gone (unless we can fit him in?) and we'll go with Scheifele - Dubois - Lowry as the 1-2-3 and then whoever on the 4th (Harkins, Gustafsson, cheap UFA).
This is my preference, maybe a smaller acquisition like Savard for D but a big investment into RW. I wonder how Reinhart would fit In here.

Except Stasny will take 1-2 years Lowry won't. What are you doing with Perfetti if we sign Lowry and have 3 c's locked up? Lowry isn't taking less than 4 years
Play Perfetti as a winger as he is not beating out Schief or pld. Perfetti if he’s as good as we think is a waste on the 3rd line. Copp can also play 3c. But ppl are talking bout trading for a rw well Perfetti has become that.
then LW lacks, unless PLD is a permanent top 6 LW, which i hope not.
im fine with us basically rolling 3 lines, with one of our top 4 Cs (PLD/Scheif/Stastny/Lowry) shifting to W.
However come playoffs, i think they should all centre their own line.
Our RW are Wheeler, Appleton, Lewis. Think another top 6 calibre guy would bode well. But it's not priority #1, but likely the easiest "hole" to fill (viable top 6W are usually heavy in supply compared to top pair D)
X-Scheifele-X
X-PLD-X
X-Stastny-X
X-Lowry-X
LW: Ehlers, Connor, Copp, Perreault
RW: Wheeler, Appleton, Lewis, ????
Think we need another bonafide top 6 guy there.
for rentals; depends who is in/out of POs. I like Tatar (can play both Wings), Armia, Palmieri. Would not move a 1st for them though.
guys with term: Arvidsson i like.

Connor, Copp, Vesalainen is a pretty good lw.
We also have great centres. You can’t be strong everywhere in a cap league you gotta pick your poisons.
I think it's pretty likely Perfetti moves to the wing anyways. He's not a great long term option at 1 or 2C with Scheif and Dubois here. So naturally he comes in as a top 9 winger and fights but likely loses the battle for a top 6 C spot. Not only are both Scheif and Dubois bigger but they are also better skaters.

I think the Jets should extend Lowry, even with Perfetti in the pipeline. I think $4M is a bit high, but the Jets have the general salary structure that allows them to keep effective bottom 6 players beyond their ELCs. As long as Perfetti is on an ELC and Scheifele is at $6M, the Jets should have no problem with their cap hit at forward. Extend PLD at $8-8.5M x 8 years, too.
think stastny game is better suited at C. PLD is the more versatile player imo.

A few D I would be scouting would be Murray and Fabbro.
Murray would likely help the 2nd pair left side and is a UFA.
Not sure why the Preds would move Fabbro and he's not a "put us over the top" guy, but he's a RHD, young, and would add good depth to the right.

if it's not a top pair quality RD, imo no real point. Pionk-Demelo are fine in their roles at RD. We need a top pair guy. Is Fabbro that?

He's not a top pair guy. But the reason I would inquire is because we'll also need some depth to make a playoff run. And, I think Fabbro could possibly be a long term piece. A real good 3rd pair RHD for now with room for more.
Let's say they traded for both (0 chance but just for discussion sake). For this playoff run you could then have:
JoMo - Demelo
Murray - Pionk
Forbert - Fabbro
With Poolman, Beaulieu, Niku, and Stanley as depth. To also go along with Heinola and Samberg (who could even just be the internal solution after getting more AHL games under their belt.)
I don't think the Jets will go out and get a top pair D at the deadline. I'm not sure one is even available. I think adding some quality depth is a good thing though if possible. Especially if one (Fabbro) could also be a long term piece.
idk maurice has had every reason to go JoMo-Demelo and he hasn't for an extended period of time.

True, but I'm just the GM in this fantasy, I can't understand what's going on in PoMo's head. lol
And I don't know what Fabbro would cost, but he's probably already a 2nd pair guy right now actually. I would think something including a young player like Vesalainen. (But still don't know why he would be available).
It would then give the Jets JoMo, Samberg, Heinola as left hand D, and Pionk and Fabbro as RHD 25 years old and under.

I would be fine dealing a little future for some D help.
I'd give up alot for a top 4 D man with term.
Give up a little for a veteran big Dman as a rental.
I think we have what it takes to make a run to the Cup.

Go all out and get a bona fide 1RHD.
Send DD, Copp, Heinola and a 1st to FL for Ekblad.
Either that or try Slamberg as JMo's partner?
JMo Slamberg
Heinola Poink
Stan the Man Demelo
Niku/Poolman as backups.

What about Dumba from Minny?
6m AAV and 2 more seasons after this one.
DeMelo and a 2022 1st round pick?
