As a neutral that wouldn't even be close.
Whilst JEE is an ideal 1bC/2C (one of those options I'd love to see making that issue go away for the Avs.....the Central Division premium would make it even worse for the Avs though) he's Minny's top C and as the above comment says it's not a position of strength for them so it would be highly unlikely he'd be made available bar for an egregious overpay. IF they were going into full re-build mode (it's arguable they should rather than just staying vaguely competitive for years as they have done for a while) then the ask would likely be phenomenal to prise him out of there, starting with a genuine 1C prospect (not a Bedard-like superstar in the making but next tier down). Being signed for that term for that cap hit and still only 26 make him inordinately valuable. If I were putting together an offer from the Avs for JEE it would probably start with Byram, Ritchie, '24 1st just to get a conversation going, and that's before adding in the Divisional tax!!! In other words, he will cost far more than a team would likely be willing to give up.
