08:20 AM ET 02.19 | Well before spring, it may be time to start thinking about next fall in Winnipeg. [The] chances of grabbing one of the top prospects in this year's draft -- Seth Jones, Nathan MacKinnon or Jonathan Drouin -- are beginning to look pretty dang promising. ... At what point does [GM Kevin Cheveldayoff] stop shuffling the deck chairs around and -- aside from moving players in the final year of their deals such as Nik Antropov, Ron Hainsey and Kyle Wellwood -- instead deal a significant piece or two just to bust up the downward spiral here? As much as there are players like Andrew Ladd and Dustin Byfuglien with Stanley-Cup pedigrees in the Jets dressing room, there are also some who have been part of this franchise's unsuccessful pursuit of a playoff spot.

With the new rules on the draft lottery in the CBA, they cannot be assured that tanking or pseudo-tanking the remainder of the season will net them a decent catch in the draft, and if they aren't playing for a spot in the play-offs, why not just forfeit?
That being said, the whole SE division is not doing too hot... but it seems the Jets are the lowest of the low at the moment

Besides small pieces that will net you a return like you got for Ponikahontas, unless they move a Ladd or Kane or Big Buff you aren't getting anything, and I don't think they'd be that crazy.
They do need to get a goalie. Pavelec isn't going to be the answer long-term.

This year's lottery is remaining unchanged, except for the fact that any team can move up to #1 (although the odds of moving from 14 to 1 are like 1 in 200). The Jets can tank and be fairly sure they'll get a star prospect in the draft.

Oh I thought the changes took effect this draft, well that being said, you could be right, but even then, and NHL ready talent directly from the draft is not that common. Sure the issue is forced on some players on teams that need a jolt, but it doesn't always pan out.

I do hope for their sake it's Mark Sanchez

The Jets are far from a player or two away from contending. And it starts at the top - Noel is just a less fiery Torts with crappier coaching skills.

1 finger of death as opposed to 3?
I agree wholeheartedly that the Jets are about half a team away from a cup... just like about anyone else outside of Pittsburgh & Chicago if current trends continue...

"Jets ready to deal a significant player?"
Didn't know they had one.
My guess is they're trying to unload "problem child" Evander Kane.

No, but it would make whatever team that trades for him pro-stupid.

They need to get rid of Ryan before they need to get rid of Sanchez.
