Description

Would've adding Savard and Nemeth helped to stop the bleeding?

Really though I think the Jets issues go beyond its terrible D core but no doubt it's a big problem.

Anyways, thoughts? Should the Jets have made these trades?

As always, thanks for commenting but let's keep them constructive!

Idk which moved GMKC should make but he NEEDS to upgrade this blueline. It might take 2-3 years before the Sambergs and Heinolas of this world are capable of playing huge minutes every night.
WIN isn't going anywhere if they don't upgrade their blueline, unless Hellebuyck turns into a freaking brick wall

I don’t think they should have moved on Savard at the deadline so it was the smart money to stay out of it but they should have addressed the need for a top 4 D in the off-season. Hindsight is 20/20 but everyone knew it was an issue though.

Jets should have been way more aggressive at the deadline

Kulikov, Savard, Nemeth, Vatanen, etc would have all helped

Why not move on Savard? He's an upgrade on the majority of the Jets dmen.

Also I'm not totally sure but I think the Jets had the cap space for Savard so wouldn't of had to trade the 4th to whoever was the middle man team for retention like TB had to.

My understanding is that term is a big consideration for the Jets, and I think that’s important when spending a 1st. And no offense to the Jets, Savard didn’t guarantee a run to the cup like it does for Tampa.
