Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

With no deal in place for Tavares, the NYI don't want to lose their biggest asset for nothing in FA and get a haul for him as a rental. WPG knows they're all in on this year and need to make moves. Hutch is claimed off waivers, and Mathias is traded to alleviate CAP concerns going forward because they will likely have all their rookies hit bonues and can't have overages for the coming years. In all likelyhood WPG can't re-sign Tavares but this lineup would easily make them a contender for the CUP without giving up too much of their future or ability to sign their RFA's in the coming years.

NYI fans might say that's not enough for Tavares but let's not forget...this is for a few months of Tavares.

WPG fans might say that's too much to give up for Tavares...they're in win now mode and this makes them a contender. If they win the cup or even made the final without having to give up any one of Connor, Roslovic, Stanley, Niku, Poolman, Vesalainen or for that matter any true roster player then would it not be worth it?
Also imagine the Jets were able to somehow get Tavares signed to an extension. Having him and Scheifele down the middle for the next few years is Pittsburgh like and the time is now while all their young core are still relatively cost effective
