Do this now so we can sign Pulock as an UFA

The Patrick trade is horrific value for the Jets.

At the moment but Patrick still likely not in prime

Idk definitely dicey

Copp so good

If you just look at the trade then yes it favors Philly but you open a space on the 3rd line for an UFA like Armia. The way I look at it is- Copp for Armia and Patrick.

That's fine and all, but the Jets should be able to get more for Copp and shouldn't trade him for a forward they don't need and to make room for another forward they don't need. If they move Copp it should be for top 4 defensive help, better than Ristolainen.

If Patrick had shown any signs of being more than a below average bottom sixer I could see it, but this is giving up a very good, very valuable asset for a hope and a prayer.
