If the Jets go into selling mode, soon-to-be UFA defenseman Logan Stanley would generate some interest, and moving him could improve their chances of getting a better pick. There have been no extension talks between the Jets and Stanley thus far.

Bukauskas: “Yeah, you could feel it up to that point. You could feel it building into them. Obviously the Cooley injury changed things a little bit, but they also dug back in and brought themselves into the conversation. And you know, between Bill and Chris Armstrong, you want to reward that, along with the rest of the fan base and Ryan Smith for that matter.”
