If it walks like a rebuild

I see Bear's name up a lot, he's a right shot which is a need.

Vancouver loves tall guys who aren't good, perfect fit.

sign and trade 6x$9.5. I think if he gets a matching AAV to vasi he could be talked down on full term which long run is probably mutually beneficial.

Someone on twitter said byfield isn't playing to expectations which had the unfortunate coincidence of being put out at the same time WPG and LA were being linked over dubois. Dubois advances the timeline of competitiveness to fit squarely during Anze's golden years. Valardi seems like an obvious replacement but picks or other prospects would likely be asked for and I believe Valardi to fit better with LA's new timelines (I think he's shown he's middle-six material for sure).

Byfield seems like he would be better off growing with responsibility being thrust upon him and there's no greater responsibility then playing 2nd line center for a Jet's team post-Helly.

This, I think is more in line with the Jet's commitment to be as mid as the organization can stomach while still also being as bad as they ought to be for being forced to sell on a number of players at the end of a long window.

I think hedging and adding picks or other assets makes the trade worse for LA. They only lose one player worth anything and get proven results that are only 4 years older than the replaced player. If LA fans hate this idea then Valardi+turcotte and 2024 1st but probably no cap dump type asset would be needed.

Names I had instead of this pick were NEwhook,Geekie (SEA), Martin Necas(jets have to throw in another asset because of RFA and term) Sam Bennett (florida gets retention and gives a 2nd)

Retention probably gives the jets a pick. Scheifele honestly will blow up at least for the first year with a new club where he isn't THE GUY. He's proven in the past to be a good compliment player especially when he has to player with better players than him.
