Randy’s Free Pick

The New York Islanders are solid defensively and have owned the Jets over the years, but I’d need more plus money to give them a look here on the road, where they’ve had issues. The Winnipeg Jets have been money making machines on the road dating back to last season, and they’ve been the slightly more consistent team overall. Price is reasonable. Give me the Jets.
