Description
Remove the GM, remove the toxic atmosphere that has plagued this team for years and build around guys who want to play here.

Is this team good enough to make playoffs? No.
Is this team bad enough to finish bottom 5? Unlikely.
Is this team good enough to put up a hard fight but likely fall in the bottom 10 for a great pick to help build the future? Yes

Feel free to pull me apart but I think the Jets are headed for a massive retool/rebuild as all their upcoming UFA/RFA stars don't want to return.

Trades
1.
WPG
  1. Newhook, Alex [RFA Rights]
  2. 2024 1st round pick (COL)
Additional Details:
Late first back and young center who hasn't found his grove just yet. Very underwhelming value, but when your stars say they don't want to play their anymore, it's tough to get value
COL
  1. Scheifele, Mark ($3,000,000 retained)
  2. 2024 3rd round pick (WPG)
Additional Details:
Aves get their second line center for another deep push. Salary is half in order to make cap work. 3rd round pick helps with offset of cost. Does not come with extension
2.
WPG
  1. Luukkonen, Ukko-Pekka
  2. 2023 2nd round pick (BUF)
  3. 2024 1st round pick (BUF)
Additional Details:
Jets are unable to get the 2023 first from Buffalo, and settle with a 2nd in this years draft, a top 5 protected 1st in next years draft and a goalie who will likely play third string.
BUF
  1. Hellebuyck, Connor
Additional Details:
Helly goes home to Buffalo a year early as Buffalo begins it's attack on the Atlantic. Will be a great mentor for Levi as well moving forward. Extension can be in place. Depends on what Buffalo wants or values Helly at.
3.
WPG
  1. Granlund, Mikael
  2. 2023 3rd round pick (NJD)
  3. 2025 5th round pick (PIT)
Additional Details:
Jets shed ex captain for likely number one center for a season or two. Will likely struggle under expectations but again, all about the return here.
PIT
  1. Wheeler, Blake ($4,125,000 retained)
Additional Details:
Dubas helps out his team by getting a better point producer, at a cheaper cap hit, with less term for just a small pick swap. Enjoy the toxic lifestyle
4.
WPG
  1. Hoffman, Mike
  2. 2023 1st round pick (FLA)
  3. 2023 4th round pick (MTL)
Additional Details:
Small returns for someone who never wanted to be a Jet. Shame
MTL
  1. Dubois, Pierre-Luc [RFA Rights]
Additional Details:
Again, way undervalue for what PLD would likely get, but he has all but made it clear it will be Montreal and no where else. Montreal can in theory wait a year, but they shed some cap, give up pick 31st in the draft and have their number 2 center for years to come.

PLD has a list of 5-6 teams he would sign with. MTL isn't the only team he'll sign with. So we don't have the leverage we used to. We have some. But not as much anymore

Read about it yesterday, I don't know if I believe him. I still feel like he is bound for Montreal even if he gets traded somewhere else next year.

Granlund might be the worst 1C in NHL history...

That's definitely an interesting Pens trade. If they decide that they don't want to buyout Granlund and waste cap space - I'd definitely take this over keeping Granlund or giving up assets to dump him.

I think MTL is the TEAM he want's to be on. But I believe that there's a few contending teams he would want to play for
