So we are trading for a forward and a defenseman that doesn't play defense? Sounds like something Snow would do.

I know it wouldn't happen but are you saying you wouldn't take Kane and Buff for the right price if Snow made such a move???

It's only fair, everyone else fleeces Snow, we should get our turn too!

Of course i would but with what he'd have to give up for those two we'd have nothing left to trade for what we really need.

Give up Okposo for Kane, sure if you want the cap hit, but its not a forward upgrade, And buff sucks at playing D, too slow and he clutchs and grabs all game long.

Obviously Snow is not trading Okposo for anyone at this point. Not that I'm an advocate for this fake trade but I wonder what it would take?

Dont think the Jets would be selling off players for a bunch of picks and prospects, they would want value back. Dont think guys like Grabner, Bailey will get it done.

Okposo would have to be in the deal to make it worth for the Jets, why would they move Kane signed long term for peanuts. And it would be dumb for you to move him as well, its a dumb thought by Ek.

But Jets moving Pavs to the Islanders makes more sense

Who would they send back to the jets? They have hardly any talent.
