not enough

Please explain?

Couturier is irreplacable

Teams just don't trade their top center very often.

There's been plenty of 2nd line centers traded over the last few years, unfortunately Dayoff was too busy checking to see who was free on the waiver wire to pick up the phone and see what it might of cost to acquire one of them.

Harkins wouldn't lock up at $1mil for 5 years, he would bet on himself on a much shorter term (similar to Copp bridge deal). Harkins, Appleton, Niku, Seuss, and Roslovic are all young so they would likely look for 1-2 year bridge deals.

Chibisov and Lipon have already left the organization for the KHL.

Is the Chicago trade essentially a modest cap space trade: Smith ($3.250 mln for 1yr) versus Perreault ($4.125 mln for 1yr) and Comrie ($0.700 mln for 1yr)? If so, the Jets might have to add a late round pick as Comrie (despite being a great guy according to coaches) was a below replacement level goalie last year.

Couturier is awesome and I would love to see him in a jets uniform, but Flyers don't do this
compare the flyers trading him to the jets trading Scheilfe.

Chibisov and Lipon signed in Russia?

Never understood why Maurice didn't dress Chibisov instead of Bourque who was useless all season, no one has a love of useless retreads quite like Maurice does.. 😂
