The need and the timeline for the Jets lineup with what Rasmus can provide. Not sure the deal happens but it is there. The Jets are not going to find a Rasmus in free agency.
Not sure what the package would be but I would consider something like Lambert, a 2026 2nd and a protected 2026 1st for Anderson and a 2026 5th.

Agreed that the Jets are a great fit for Andersson. They’re in win now mode and need a top 4 RD.
However, Lambert is already getting playing time in the bigs and looks like he might slot into the top six next season if Ehlers walks in the summer. Since the time frame for the Jets push is this season and next, they won’t want to subtract a piece like Lambert from the NHL roster. So more likely Yager is the piece they’d be willing to move.
