    Yup, i do not understand the hype that movie got/gets. I watched it and was truly underwhelmed+bored. It just lacked.......something. I also found it very hard to follow and understand at times. Feel sorry for the scores of girls that had to sit/sleep through that movie with the whole Barbenheimer thing.

    I don't know what to say....one of the best movies period, but hey it was long,so hard for some people to watch i guess. If you want to shut off your brain and just be entertained definitely not the movie for you.

    I like Arniel, seems like a good guy but i think we definitely need a new direction. It's crazy but i like Keefe out of that group of coaches..still young and the scapegoat of below average goaltending and Management in TO imo..

    Part of it is the pressure on the local player would be insanity. 

    Yes i agree with some but others( Dubois, and Tavares off the top of my head)wanted to play in their hometown, plus is not easier to resign a local player normally?

    Why clean house after a 110 point season and the best defensive record in the league? The playoffs were disappointing, but why burn it all to the ground? That’s a recipe for no playoffs for the next few years. 

    I think the fact that we are not even competitive in the playoffs is more a factor, i don't necessarily expect us to win but damn we are not even in the series the last 2 years. I would add Chevy's strange aversion to drafting local products as well. You look at Seth Jarvis in Carolina and it keeps hitting me why Chevy does not want to draft local players?? Is it a fluke?

    I expect 1 OL, 1 DL and a bunch of jobber “linebackers”. 
    I’m hoping for more but that’s been their track record for Canadian drafting for years now. 
    Walters usually signs impact Canadians as FA’s or supplemental, rarely through the draft. 

    Sorry when you always finish first in the league AND the draft is a crapshoot of who will actually show up to play on your team of course we sign more free agent impact Canadian players, but when we were a weak team Walters drafted impact Canadian players as well as any CFL GM.

    I get your sarcasm, valid points but the GM's body of work from year to year include the the teams success rate in the playoffs, no?

    I guess it has to do with how high should expectations be placed on Chevy when it comes to the success of the Winnipeg Jets getting closer and ultimately winning the Stanley Cup?

    I think your sarcasm suggests that Chevy is doing his job, i.e., top 5 in the NHL, makes the playoffs consistently but as the Jets flame out in the playoffs consistently year after year 1st or 2nd round its the players and coaches not doing enough mixed with larger market teams have tremendous advantage over small market teams?

    If this is expectation for Chevy (consistently making the playoffs and it stops there), it's great gig cuz he will never be expected to win a Stanley Cup here cuz it's someone else's or some thing that is at fault when it comes to how successful the Jets are in the playoffs (not the season).  

     

    Right now with the salary cap it should be fairly level( except for Vegas) between small and large markets money wise but desired location? That gap has gotten huge and Chevy is definitely behind the eight ball there. A lot of bouncing balls to catch. I guess we see in the offseason which way we go...

    The problem with the Jets situation is how do you fire the coach and GM of a team that finished with the second amount of points in the West during the NHL regular season? No way the Jets make those moves. It's a different game come playoff time. Unfortuantely since we can't use the Mark S was not available during the series excuse this time, we are left to think that this team is the classic regular season good/ playoffs bad kind of club ... 

    For me is will Chevy finally realize this core that he drafted is not good enough? Can he blow up this team and start again?  Alot of  tough questions this off season.  I am hopeful though that we will win this game and at least not go down without a fight.
