Heck, even give us a Rantanen!

Rantanen is elite. 617 points in 570 games and he's produced when MacKinnon has been out of the lineup. The Jets forward group going into the playoffs looked really deep but as has been mentioned many times it's very similar to the Flames a few seasons ago where they were pretty deep but lacked the elite gamebreaker. Like I said early in this series, this was just a bad draw for the Jets due to a flawed playoff format. It's clear they wouldn't likely get further than the 2nd round but they deserved a more favorable first round matchup.
