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?

Couldn't attract their marquee coach last year. Can't attract players.

It's not all his fault but he's been here over 10 years. Every contract, every coach, every player is his and it's not enough. You can accept it but the fans, not going to games anymore, are not.

You can accept it but the fans, not going to games anymore, are not. 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.
March 2, 20232 yr comment_622949 I don't understand how firing Chevy somehow makes Winnipeg a more attractive city for players to want to come join us? I wasn't aware that Chevy controlled the freezing cold weather and the completely non existent nightlife/downtown life in our city?

Defend him all you want but you're not ever going to get a truly competitive team with a competitive coach.

Defend him all you want but you're not ever going to get a truly competitive team with a competitive coach. There isnt a GM out there that would be able to do a much better job than Chevy. His hands are perpetually tied. Winnipeg will forever be the last place players want to sign with/be traded to. I cant imagine how many times he's heard "thanks, but not interested in signing there" and "youre on his no trade list". I think he's done as best a job as any GM in Winnipeg can do.

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.
March 2, 20232 yr comment_622959 If you accept that nothing can be done to make the Jets a better team, then Chevy is your guy. And, I have to wonder about the future of the team if you can't attract anyone to play here and you can't be competitive. 1 minute ago, blue_gold_84 said: Swing and a miss.

March 2, 20232 yr comment_622961 Chevy has been GM for 12 years and we have won three playoff series and basically had one magical playoff run five years ago. How long does he get or is he just GM for life because we're a small market team that players seem to shy away from?
