The Trade Thread
Swing and a miss. And a really absurd oversimplification. You ignored the NMC/NTC particulars where the vast majority of players in the NHL have Winnipeg at the top of their list. Not to mention RFA and arbitration rights. It's like you're not even making an effort to have a worthwhile discussion, man.

Show me where I claimed to be happy or made "lots of excuses" for the team's GM.

The Trade Thread
The Jets attendance figures are up compared to last season, though. By a considerable margin. 2021-22: 12716 (https://www.hockeydb.com/nhl-attendance/att_graph_season.php?lid=NHL1927&sid=2022) 2022-23: 14081 (https://www.hockeydb.com/nhl-attendance/att_graph_season.php?lid=NHL1927&sid=2023) This is a small market Canadian franchise and there is a set of challenges it faces in today's NHL related to trades, player acquisition, and player retention. Whoever were to replace Cheveldayoff would have to deal with that same reality.

But another, "better" GM that can't be named is maybe the answer. Everything wrong with the Jets is Kevin Cheveldayoff's fault.

Who's a better GM currently available?

The Trade Thread
This is a draft and develop franchise based on the complexities in today's NHL with NMCs, NTCs, and rights for players to decide where they want to go. I get that fans are frustrated by the team's recent struggles and lack of trades, but this narrative that Cheveldayoff doesn't try or doesn't have to try seems rather baseless. How would you suggest he do better as GM in order to "attract" players or coaches?
