The Jets are in a similar situation to the Rangers, only with a slightly better roster.

They have an elite goalie, they want to be a contender, but they could still use a little more goal-scoring in their top nine, especially after losing Nikolaj Ehlers in free agency over the summer and not really doing anything to replace him.

With Ehlers gone, the Jets are bringing back only three players who scored more than 18 goals from last year’s team, and it’s worth asking if Gabe Vilardi is going to score 27 goals again after shooting more than 20 percent.

Some regression seems possible there.

The Jets do a lot of things well, and with Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor at the top of the lineup, they do have a couple of elite scorers. But more depth and another goal-scorer would be a huge addition.

Tuch seems to fit the style of play and has an affordable contract. The Jets also have all of their first-round picks in future seasons and some salary-cap flexibility to work with.
