Why are you buying byfield for 1lw, I’m sure there’s a lw on the ufa market that comes without the ill will and less assets given up. I’m all for the byfield purchase for 2c and move on from Hayton, with geekie coming fast for 3c and vets to ensure a soft landing. This is a playoff team with a few of the right moves this offseason, possibly a purchase or 2 via July 1, A hockey trade using picks and prospects to fill 2c, and number 1 ld and or rd, possibly a move on from vejimelka to continue the trend of finding diamonds In the rough in net and earning opportunities to succeed in goal. Savoie possibly out of Buffalo maybe also a interesting get if they can send the right package, possibly a little young and not the right experience for a 2c going forward, but lots of interesting options with the picks and cap in hand.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jfkst1</b></div><div>What NHL org. is hanging banners every decade? None in the cap era so if that is your expectation it is, again, pure delusion. Bruins won a SC in 2011, and made the SCF in 2015 and 2019, but have only won a single SC in the modern era. And that is the most competitive org. overall. In the cap era teams ascend and then decline. All the "dynasties" have done this: Detroit, Los Angeles, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Tampa, ect. It's the intention and nature of the cap era.</div></div>

Plenty of organizations are hanging banners every decade, not always the one that everyone strives for, just can’t stand mid, and it seems what this organization strives for. Stay mid keep asses in the seats, much rather risk feast or famine, and give the city a proper chance at a cup. Mid and milestone nights, and career players just aren’t for me. Even once in a generation trip to the finals, would be suffice in some levels, like 04 flames or 06 oilers or 07 sens. 18 trip to conference finals doesn’t quite cut it, still recite some of that lineup and hold a special place. But damn is that all there is?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jfkst1</b></div><div>Very few ownership groups approve aggressive rebuilds until the team has been floundering for years. The reason being is that rebuilds, even for large markets, is a major opportunity cost of financial loss. And it is even worse for most small markets. Plenty of teams should be rebuilding like Calgary, Pittsburgh, Washington, New York Isles, etc. They don't because ownership groups won't approve it until it is inevitable. San Jose was also a prime example of that.</div></div>

I understand your sentiment, but having the smallest city, and the smallest building, the jets need to do somethings differently than the rest of the league, especially with the dollar predicted to be heading in the wrong direction. Still believe they should run the team like an extended junior team, 1st rounders possibly have til 29/30 years old. Everybody else traded before they can walk for nothing. Trade back into a 3/4 year window to build a nucleus and take them on a run til you do it again. No aging out assets, or walking for nothing, not a great chance anyone retires there or has milestone nights. But with any luck they can win the last possible game of the year, and or hang a few banners every decade.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jfkst1</b></div><div>Isn't Winnipeg having some questionable financials already? Probably like Calgary, they can't afford to rebuild even if they wanted to and they were a good team this year, just overmatched against a superior team. Happens every postseason. Doesn't mean they are a weak team at all.</div></div>
Jets owners have resources for days, they bought up the downtown, made deals on a mall now, they are invested, just trying to wrattle the cages of corporate Winnipeg to pick up the slack of lagging original season ticket holder groups, that were wearing down with the chaos of the time, and some of the decisions of the team. Jets ownership has a theory of competitive keeps the status quo, where the fanbase wants a shot at winning the last possible game of the year. If they don’t choose rebuild, it is going to be forced on them ugly. Hopefully the scouts and development team is on fire to bring resources needed to put the team over the top.
