Chevy talked about seizing the moment if an opportunity presented itself. I think the opportunity is staring him right in the face, he just has to “seize the moment”. Jets have to win this year, but acquiring Meier and Chychrun extends the window a bit. Sure they may lose PLD this summer, but elite wingers can carry an underperforming C. I’m convinced Perfetti could play C between two elite wingers.

Seeing reports that Meier will fetch similar to what Horvat got. I figured that since Meier will be a pending RFA and a bit younger he’ll get a little more in a return. Also his previous performances call for a bit more of a return.

Chychrun is the wildcard, as the jets don’t necessarily have to make a move on D. I think Pionk has been horrific this year and every single year he’s been here besides the one in the all Canadian division which looks like an outlier. If the jets could somehow upgrade pionk and a few pieces into Chychrun I’d be very happy. Probably seems counterintuitive to subtract two pieces on D in Pionk and Samberg and only add one back in Chychrun but I think samberg is a bigger trade chip than others. Lambert is added as a quality prospect to put that deal over the top. Although without a 1st Arizona probably has 0 interest in this deal.
