disagreed, the best move chevy could've done was stand pat... the jets rn't good enough to be cup contenders right now, a good rental simply isn't enough to change it, no point trying to make the playoffs if u cant contend for the cup, just play the season out get a good draft pick (kyle conner wise hopefully

The guy has consistently shown he either can't recognize or can't fill the needs this team has so what makes you or anyone else think he's going to be able to do it this summer?
This team is quite far from being a contender and I don't see the GM who literally has dayoff in his name being the guy who's gonna return them to being actual contenders in one summer.
Trade deadline trades aren't just about loading up for a playoff run or adding to just make the playoffs, the Canes made trades that will benefit them for the next few seasons, Chevy could've done the same.
Yeah getting a good draft pick will be nice but in all likelihood it'll be around 12-14th overall which will take at least a couple seasons before they're contributing in any way to the Jets on the ice.
Standing pat was pretty much what he did other then throwing away a couple picks on rentals one of which was paying Vegas a pick to take their cap dump, that's some shrewd GM work there.. Lol
He's got a hole at 2C, at least two top 4 dmen are needed, four RFA's to sign, needs a backup goalie and the Buff situation to sort out, seems like an awful lot of work for a guy who does so little to address what's wrong with the team he's supposed to build.
So yeah, I've lost faith in Chevy, he's dug himself a hole over the last few seasons with some bad trades and signings, I just hope he realizes where he's at, stops digging and doesn't do anything stupid.
