In most organizations a fall like this, if it continues, would generate a firing (whether it’s the coach or the GM). It won’t happen here as for some reason too many fans and the ownership swallow the propaganda spewed by the team management. 😕

Most teams would waive Nyquist and Pearson and prob Schenn to the minors. Toews possibly also. 
 

I think I’d tank this season. It’s a good draft. We need young talent. Yager has potential. Chibrikov also. Salo I like lots. Dom the goalie looks good. But outside of that not much currently on the moose. Couple interesting prospects in the ohl and ncaa. Top 4 D for sure in Sasha and possibly top 6 center in Walton. Top 9 let’s say. He looks good also but He won’t be ready for a few seasons. We lack tho a top 3 forward prospect tho currently. Yager definitely top 6 potential but he’s not that big either so. You need a top 5 pick. Ideally win the draft and get a franchise player.

We tank & we're a good one foot & a quarter more through the door that leaves Winnipeg. We can't survive with crowds of 12 & 13000 just like the old Jets couldn't. Chipman can sell this team for over a billion dollars to some American outfit to move it to an American city with 4 times the population. Just watch what happens if we tank.

He won’t tho since the other owner of the jets is the richest owner in the nhl. Chipman and Thompson are committed to Winnipeg and the downtown hence all the upcoming developments around the area. I mean really.

When the fans turn away from the team there's always a danger that the owners may say they can get a better deal elsewhere.

The Jets are absolutely not going anywhere... That's patently absurd. A tank and rebuild could absolutely be lived through no problem.

Yeah, okay. Whatever you say. You sound like Neville Chamberlain coming home to London after his meeting with Hitler's Nazis in 1939 holding up that useless piece ot toilet paper that was supposed to be a treaty & gleefully proclaiming, "There will be peace in our time." You have no clue either.

I can see the Jets moving in 10 years or so.  As the Jets 1.0 fans die off and less interest from the younger people it could cause them to move away (again).

I love when the word tank is used. Do they have meetings and decide this? If Chevy calls up the whole AHL team and plays them, yes they are tanking but other than that happening what do they do, players play half assed and coaches purposely make bad decisions? Has any NHL team ever admitted to tanking a season?

They won’t rebuild. Not with 55 81 37 all signed long term. They will retool and if that means tanking this season I think that’s ok. McKenna is a franchise player.

SJ pretty much. Sharks. Buffalo also tried tanking for McDavid as rumors were he wanted to go to  there or preferred it but Edmonton won the draft.

Still doesn't answer my questions with any solid facts. As a competitive guy myself, I would be embrassed if a team actually planned a tank on purpose.

Buffalo tanked. Chicago tanked. Sharks tanked the last few years. Those are teams who pretty much admitted it. Nobody is gonna say tank tho.

So behind closed doors, conversations were had to tank the season? I personally would find that professionally embrasssing obviously know the fruits they bare if successful at achieving the outcome of doing so.
