Goalie Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 (edited) 4 hours ago, TrueBlue4ever said: 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. Chevy gonna win gm of the year. You don’t fire Chevy after 110 points. Nobody expected the jets to even make the playoffs. I do think you could clear out the coaching staff tho and go younger. Give me the next cooper or Bednar over recycling coaches who haven’t won. id be chatting with some young up and comers if I’m Chevy.

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?

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?

Goalie Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 Jarvis would have been on the moose for a year here. Reality is he prob doesn’t replace wheeler Vilardi or Ehlers. He’d have been a moose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality is he prob doesn’t replace wheeler Vilardi or Ehlers. He’d have been a moose. Out of the draft he made the lineup of one of the best teams in the league AND had 40pts. Perfetti over Jarvis has gotta be a major regret. Bonus Rant: Vesalainen was on the 3rd line starting that year!

TrueBlue4ever Posted Tuesday at 05:51 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 05:51 PM (edited) I would take Gerard Gallant over him. Berube is being talked about as the next head coach of the Leafs. Murat Ates of The Athletic gave a breakdown of possible candidates here (hope there are no firewall issues with the link): https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5475821/2024/05/07/winnipeg-jets-nhl-coach-bowness/ Edited Tuesday at 05:52 PM by TrueBlue4ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bb1 Posted Tuesday at 06:09 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 06:09 PM 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..

Goalie Posted Wednesday at 08:50 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 08:50 PM (edited) Jets have talked to dean evason, Manitoba boy and former Wild midget Talked to berube via zoom. Spoke to Arniel. Waiting to speaking with Todd Nelson who is going for 2nd ahl championships. The dark horse revealed. Worked under bones. Relationship with Chevy.

Goalie Posted Wednesday at 09:30 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 09:30 PM Lambert replaces Ehlers and is cheaper. Ville replaces Dillon and is cheaper. Ideally you use Ehlers to get you a younger top 4 D. Preferably right shot. Move pionk then or Schmidt. Demelo Josh good pairing samberg Top 4 from Ehlers ville Schmidt ? Pionk? Free agent cuz money available if pionk or Schmidt Also moved. could be interesting. lambert Chibby big Salo. Gotta make room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captaincanuck12 Posted Thursday at 12:48 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 12:48 AM I dunno, letting Dillon walk is stupid. This team has no grit and Dillon was the guy that could hit people. It all depends on $$$ I guess and I don't think he'll take a pay cut. Whatever though, I don't know what the right decisions are for this team. But yeah I wouldn't be upset if Ehlers is gone. I'd find the money to keep Monahan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted Thursday at 09:01 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 09:01 PM (edited) I know a couple folks connected to the jets (they just know people) and they are saying it wouldn’t surprise them at all if Todd Nelson is the guy here. Coached under Bones. Chevy is a fan. Oilers kinda screwed him when he was there. Going for b2b ahl titles. Willing to integrate the youth. Jets job is actually quite inviting for coaching guys. They don’t suck. They ain’t rebuilding. Think it’s prob one of the top openings available honestly. It is actually. Don’t get the insane media like Toronto does either. Not to often an opening for a team with 110 points opens up. Edited Thursday at 09:05 PM by Goalie Noeller and Super Duper Negatron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
