It's not about acquiring a guy who can jump into the top 6 and push a team over the top, it's about depth. If you go on a cup run, that's another 25 games. You need lots of guys who can eat some minutes and possibly replace injured players at an acceptable level.

At this stage, I would be happier than a pig in **** if the Jets could get what they paid for Setoguchi. Sadly, I see that as a massive longshot at this point.
Jokinen is tough. I wouldn't mind keeping him and re-signing him at about half of what he is currently making.
I am not sure he takes that deal. As for a trade, I have no idea what the Jets could get for him.
Seto will get a decent return, he would be an upgrade on the wing on any of LAK, ANA, SJS, or STL. STL SJS and ANA all have an extra 2nd round pick this year while LAK have the Oilers 3rd rounder. Not saying anyone will use him as a top 6 player but as a 3rd or 4th liner who can step up and provide secondary scoring he holds some value.
Olli I can see getting a similar return a 2nd rounder, CAR and WSH are both in need of help at the center and they both have all their picks up to the 5th round.
I would like to see both of them traded as I think you can replace/upgrade them in the off season.
Honest question: teams only have to pick up the pro-rated amount of a contract for the remainder of the season, is that not correct? So it would affect teams right up against the cap but other would only be paying for about 20% of the salary or is that not right? Jets could also retain some salary if trading for picks, yes?
