If Vegas wasn’t in Vegas people would be avoiding it like the plague. Just a **** show organization there. Hopefully Torts fails.

Not having any of the behind the scenes info on this really aids in this move making no sense. Wow. What a tough gig being a professional head coach.

How on earth does this ******* keep getting work? He should be long gone from the league, by now, never to be heard from again...

Chevy feels the pain 😆

Well forget about Jim Nill as our next GM 😆

Chevy has a job until he retires here. Accept it.

The thing that I question is expectations.

It seems that the Toronto Maple Leafs have higher expectations than the Winnipeg Jets.

No. I don’t think so. I think they are the home of the tsn and sportsnet tho. The leafs biggest problem will forever be the media in Toronto. We don’t got that here. We at 954k ppl. Toronto has 7 million. I think our expectations are a cup just like Toronto’s. I just think we are more realistic about it. A Canadian team hasn’t won since the 90s. I mean we haven’t technically won a cup in 15 years right. Cuz that’s when our team became our team. Toronto hasn’t won since the 1960s. Also firing gms every 2 or 3 years doesn’t work.

The bolded part of your comment sounds like a nice out for Chevy, as in 'hey we want to win the cup every year but let's be realistic we're a small market Canadian team that has to work harder than most other teams with one arm tied behind it's back so it aint going to happen unless the moons align perfectly so until then be patient, support us by our merc we're doing the best we can but there are many things out of our control.

So in fact it's not a goal to win it all every year but more just be competitive enough be entertaining enough to ensure a healthy profit is turned. All good but don't tell us something that isn't true.

Professional sports is a business it's all too complicated for us simpletons to understand. Gag.

I just think chevys job is a lot harder than most gms in the league and honestly he’s done well. We do generally make the playoffs or are right there. We won the presidents trophy. We have never actually been a bottom 5 team in our history as our only top 5 pick was Laine and we won pick 2 In the lotto, moved up from 7. I think there’s lots of unknowns I think with Chevy and what he has to deal with with the no moves and no trade clauses. We don’t have a generational McDavid Crosby ovi to help us out. The leafs have won 2 rounds or something since 1960? I thought I saw that. We were in the conference finals a few years ago. Won a round last year. I mean. Toronto doesn’t have the stigma the peg does. I think Chevy is criticized for things he has no control over. I know for a fact that jets have had deals in place but the no moves or no trade lists came into play. Andrew Ladd said it on a podcast. Winnipeg has a perception problem. But once you there you don’t want to leave. We need to fix the perception and specifically Ladd mentioned Chevy and chipper treating you like family and how much of a class act organization they are. It’s just getting guys here that’s the problem. Chevy has tried. I think development might be an issue tho so I’d prob get rid of the moose coach to start cuz outside of Salo, who has the moose recently developed. Lambert is looking ok but he’s tiny and needs to bulk up. I just draft and development right. The development the last few years hasn’t been there. Maybe our scouting needs improvement also but guys like He and Walton look like they will be ready soon and perhaps be contributing to the jets in the not so distant future. We were good for a bit tho so you go for it, looks like outside of an 11 game losing streak jets were ok also this season. Helle being hurt kinda killed the season. That’s not on Chevy. I wouldn’t get rid of him just yet. We just won the presidents trophy last year. I’d tell him to fix the 2C hole by any means necessary except by trading Josh Helle mark kyle and gabe. Everyone else? 2C is what we need most.

Toronto might make a good trade partner honestly.

Fair points but still no cup. That’s just the true traditionalist fan straight arming the business side out talking.

Kind of hard to do well when Winnipeg is the least desired city that players want to play in by a large margin. This is why we have to always settle for older over the hill free agents and "hope" that they can reclaim some success from the past.

The NHL needs to get rid of no movement clauses. It doesn't really exist in other pro leagues.

You are part of the problem.

At the very least restrict the number of no go teams a player can identify e.g three teams max.
