Just a thought on rebuilds...
Bogosian was 3rd overall in 08 and Kane was 4th overall in 09.
Imagine if Monahan and Bennett got traded a few years from now for Myers (under achiever), Stafford (UFA), Armia (mid 1st rounder with similar value to Baertschi right now), Lemieux (2nd rounder who is just over 1 PPG in his post draft year), and a 27th-30th overall pick?
The Jets turned what was once serious quality into a whole bunch of quantity, with some wasted years thrown in.
So I wouldn't be too quick to praise Chevy and the Jets. Because even though the return is decent for their current value, they also have to take some responsibility for the fact that that value is so low.
