From a Habs fan who went through 9 seasons of Bergevin going dumpster diving at the deadline... I feel your pain.

With 45+ trades... There's really no excuse for Nino being your one and only deal.

You should have seen the GMs press conference just now. Absolutely brutal

So disappointing man, agree that Chevy's time should be up.

The thing is a few small dumpster diving moves over the last few days and today would've drastically improved their bottom six which is AHL level righ now.
Chevy misses out on sooooo many deals that could help but he does nothing other then waiver claims or goes dumpster diving when his team is clearly going nowhere like he did with the Eakin, Benn and Sanford trades in recent years.

I'll give Bergevin credit for that much, he was actually decent at dumpster diving trades.. lol

I can only imagine how the players have taken the message from todays trade deadline.

All trades require a dance partner. I am not saying that is the reason nothing happened, but could be the case. I have a theory though on why Winnipeg doesn't make big trades. I honestly think that it is because nobody wants to come to Winnipeg. I feel like this teams ownership's top priority is not to win the cup, but to be able to keep a team in Winnipeg. That is why i think that they never want to part with assets or draft picks. I also think that even though now may be there window in our minds. The window is actually closed. This year the winner is coming out of the East. I see no paths where Winnipeg could beat Boston, Toronto, Rangers or Tampa and that is only if they can find a way past Colorado. In my mind losing in the final is the same as missing the playoffs. 2nd doesn't get you a trophy. Shortly after this year there is a good chance that Scheifele, Dubois, Helle and Wheeler are all gone so having those high prospects in the system plays a major role. If any of this thought process is close to what they are thinking. Then folks Winnipeg is preparing for a rebuild right now. and management is just trying to fool us with these little trades.

Yeah well that way if business isn’t working anymore. They are sucking and fans aren’t showing up to the games. Heck now they are getting booed at their home games. Whether they like it or not they need to pick a direction. Also the a draft and develop system works but the issues you need to be good at a managing your assets and frankly jets have been aweful at drafting past the first round.
