Well, there’s the contract that still has to be done with captain Andrew Ladd. One that shouldn’t have been this hard, but here we are in mid-December and it’s still on the to-do list. There’s a dynamic defenseman in Dustin Byfuglien who the Jets may have to consider trading if they can’t get him signed to a contract extension before the trade deadline.
