Thread: the start of the Jets reset
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>swinny</b></div><div>Interesting take.

Couple questions:

1. So you don't see Lambert being ready for 24-25? (I see him with the Moose next year personally) - I bet he plays a bit with Wpg at the end of the 23/24 season, regular by 24/25 likely.

2. Will ask the same question about Lucius, with the same thought process. - I think if healthy next season he's ahead of Lambert, and hopefully in line to be the Jets 2LC in 24/25.

3. Do you beleive that Perfetti will get reps at centre with the thinking he transitions? Or is he simply a better winger? - Doubt it, him and Lambert project to be wingers, I think he'll keep getting better though and be a consistant 70 to 80 P guy.

4. Does Barron in your view become a 2nd line power forward (that possibility exists) or is he a consistent 30-40 point guy on the 3rd line? - maybe, he'll get a shot and should be a middle six guy for 3 or 4 seasons.

I ask because depending on those thoughts processes, I am not sure a complete reset is necessary.</div></div> - I think its unavoidable, the dominoes will fall once PLD is dealt. Helly wont stick around when he can make 11 million and have 25ish teams after him, Wheeler will age out, but I think 55 will resign, and I think this team can do a 2 year reset kinda like what the Rangers did before Connor, Ehlers, and J-Mo expire and be right back in it if they collect the right assets.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rooney</b></div><div>HUGE overpay for Toews. If that's the cost, WPG is out. Rashevsky looks like an absolute stud and were throwing a 1st round pick in as well? I'd be willing to pay a 2nd and a 3rd but that's about it.</div></div>

Overpays are the name of the deadline game. Rashevsky "absolute stud"?, "pleasant surprise" or "interesting prospect" probably more fitting. Again, look at the history of deadline deals and you'll see a trend of 1st round picks in exchange for even just good players, not legendary captains, who can still score at a middle six rate, and leads the NHL in faceoff %. Here's a couple of examples...Brendan Lemieux, a 1st and a 4th for Kevin Hayes, 2018 Vegas gave up a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for Tatar. Paul Stastny for a 1st and a C prospect.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tsyls</b></div><div>Lowry should be moved to 4C with a Toews acquisition.

Also, I think paying more than a 2nd or 3rd is definitely reasonable and likely. But I’m not sure they get a 23 1st for toews. Perhaps if they’d settle for 24 1st they get one. But think it’s more likely they get a nice prospect who needs a change of scenery and a 2nd. Something like Heinola and a pick, or a different prospect and a pick. Especially considering toews has full control of where he goes.

Also as for the OP, jets will have ~9 million dollars in cap space at the deadline. So if toews is acquired at 5.25, you still have just under 4 million left to make other moves.</div></div>

Good points, I agree with all of it. Jets dont have a lot of picks and may not want to move that pick, so yeah Heinola and a mid round possibly would do it. That I think is why Toews is so attractive (O'Riley if healthy as well), you can reshape several lines by adding him. That cap space is fluid and its hard to exactly predict.
