Description

Basically this is a hypotheical, where the jets find out before the deadline that Buf is not coming back (this season or next)and they are allowed to spend his cap space. Who could/should they target with the 7.6 mill space.
Thoughts? Ideas?
please remember this is just a hypothecial trade idea(s) to start a debate haha

I think PK would come cheaper then that, especially if you're taking his whole cap hit.

They will also likely look at Petry if and when MTL decides to finally sell off.

Think you would either need to change that 2nd to a 1st or give us a better prospect/player for Risto

Subban is terrible, wouldn't give a 7th for him.

Not sure about Ristolainen, think he'd cost more then that to get.

With 7.6 mill in cap space it just makes more sense to look at UFA's. I'd rather keep my picks and prospects.

Get a rental for this year and spend the cap hit on a UFA or 2.
