The Big Buf conundrum

Created by: masterjuddi
Team: 2019-20 Winnipeg Jets
Initial Creation Date: Jan. 17, 2020
Published: Jan. 17, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
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.

It would definitely be a buy low situation and personally I wouldn't want the jets to make this deal. Also, the deal is with 2 mill retained so he comes in at 7

If its a rental, Vatanen is the guy...a decent RD and pretty much the only UFA RD that is on a losing team.

I think if you're saying absolutely anything about this year, it needs to be predicated on whether you actually think the Jets are serious contenders.

And the answer is no. Pionk, Poolman, and Morrissey are the only defensemen who belong in the NHL, and Poolman is not a top pairing defenseman. Niku does too in that he deserves and probably needs the experience to grow, but his play is not significantly affecting the Jets' defensive prowess.

Riding it out is far and away the best option. Laine, Roslovic, Poolman, Pionk have all made strides this season.
Next season Kulikov is off the books. Give Laine a 4M raise and sign him long term, trim the fat off of the roster and use the money to extend the other kids. Wait for Buff to make a decision about his future and then go sign a UFA if Buff leaves.
