I look forward to the Chevy interview where he says that they were working on lots of things but the cost was too high. Maybe next year! Renew your season tickets, please. 

Or we think we added a few key pieces and I'm confident in what we have here to make the playoffs and do some damage. Now It's up to them to execute in last part of the season. 

SJS Klingberg to MIN who also have acquired Oskar Sundqvist from the Detroit Red Wings.

Reading this I'll quote Ralphie from Christmas story FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu . . .

In the 21 games we have remaining, how many points do we need to secure to make the playoffs?

that's all she wrote folks.   If we somehow manage to get into the playoffs, we'll be done in 5 games.  Chevy should be gone this year.  Bring in someone with a new vision.

 

Dear Suckers (I mean Season Ticket Holders),

Sorry we got sweep in round one. We hope that you will be back again for the 2023/2024 NHL season. Prices are going up 10% next season. We also aren't doing anything to enhance the fan experience but concession prices will be going up too. Just be happy you have an NHL team.

I think that's the exact same footage every season.

Well you shoudn't be too disparaged as a Jet fan......we have all kinds of cap room.....one star counting the days till he joins the Habs and another wanting a trade out of town.....and the rumoured news that Atlanta is getting another nhl club .....geez ...could it be the return of the Thrashers et al Jets

Dubois wants to go to Montreal, who is the other guy wanting a trade? EDIT - oh I see Logan Stanley.  Yeah I'd have traded him.

If you missed the Chevy Presser after today's debacle, here's the link ... 

 

Hey at least we’re not RoughRider fans without a NHL team, that’s something we can always fall back on when things seem bad.

Who said anything about giving him a job for life?

Bit of a dumb and useless comment.

He's been our GM since Day 1. Chipman won't fire him no matter how bad it gets.

Job for life. 

Only thing I can think is that Chevy doesn't see this team, as constructed, as capable of winning and expects a clear out this summer.

I think this might be part of it…  For all of those upset over the lack of activity;  Do you think this team is a piece or two away from making a serious run?  Because it would have cost a lot of future draft picks and or prospects.  We all like the idea of making a splash before the deadline, but I’m not sure I would have mortgaged the future to bolster a team that is playing the way they currently are.  If Chevy did make a big move or two, and the team flamed out, he’d be getting ripped for that too.

Im not saying I’d be against a change at GM, but it wouldn’t be based on the inactivity over the last week or two.

It actually wouldn't have cost much, by the looks of things, to acquire some pieces. 

But, I wouldn't trust Chevy to rebuild anything. He hasn't built anything so far.

Not true. He’s built a good bank account at the paying Jet’s fans expense …

Yeah, I’m thinking the lack of real success over the last 8 or so years since he was able to dispose of the Atlanta stuff and then was able to draft some good players …

Montreal Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes announced on Tuesday that the team has acquired the rights to forward Alex Newhook in exchange for Montreal's 31st (previously acquired from Florida) and 37th overall picks in 2023 and defenseman Gianni Fairbrother.

Per darren drager on twitter (let's  be fair the waiting is a bigger beast)

The PLD trade, technically, is a beast. All involved are still working on the contract extension. Because of cap issues, expect the Jets to make another move…likely buying out Wheeler. Still moving parts.

It's done. The drama is over

Pending trade call the Jets and Kings complete a marathon trade. Pierre-Luc Dubois to LA. Iafallo, Vilardi, Kupari and a 2nd in 2024 (orig Mtl’s pick) to Winnipeg for PLD. As @reporterchris reported, extension for PLD in LA is 8 years, $8.5 aav.

 

Seems like a good haul for the Jets

Next up , Hellebuyck to the Devils.   Wheeler buyout.   Schiefele still number 1 center.

Let's hope not. 

So is the Moose player no longer part of that deal?

Nope. Got some depth pieces, which should help our PK. 

Man, that's a haul and a half for PLD.... nice work Chevy.
