<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Gawanke signed a four year deal in Germany btw, must've saw the writing on the wall and was tired of getting jerked around.
Too bad, he looked to have potential, he could skate circles around a lot of the Jets current dmen, guess it's more important to get Capobianco some ice time though... 🙄

I agree that while the future looks okay they do lack a high end player to really build around, which to me is also another reason to tear this down to get that guy plus the returns they could get for Dubois, Helle and Scheifele could also really set them up nicely.

This core and its lackluster supporting cast are beyond done, if they think people won't support a rebuild but will continue to pay to watch checked out Dubois and Scheifele they're truly ****ing delusional.</div></div>

Part of me thinks they should move Heinola and their 18 OA pick to try and get a top pick. I could see Arizona possibly doing it. The thing about Gawanke is that yeah the jets asset management is terrible but he wasn’t gonna go in front of Heinola or Chisholm to get called up.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Oh I agree, any time I say that I get a barrage of comments saying how good the Jets are at drafting and developing and how important it is to this team.

Wonder if anyone realizes that other then 10th overall Perfetti the Jets only have Samberg and Stanley contributing anything since they drafted Laine 2nd overall. Think about that, since an early pick in 2016 they have a 10th overall pick playing for them and a couple 3rd pair dmen that could be replaced by guys on the waiver wire, sorry but thats not good drafting and developing in my opinion and one of the only other success stories in that time frame was Kovacevic who likely is just another 3rd pair guy but he was lost on waivers to keep Capobianco ffs! Its comical how this team operates.. lol</div></div>

Id argue Heinola, Chisholm and Gustaffsson are full time NHL players now but they just dont get played.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>I agree with you here, time to move on from Chevy.

The only defense I can have of him is I don't know how much Chipman rules over what he tries to do but I've heard Chipman has a say in everything so if that's true then you've gotta cut Chevy a bit of slack.

Also if Chipman does have that much influence then I'd say the organization is doomed and will eventually be moved again, support is gonna further dwindle if they can't put a better product on the ice cause the owner thinks he's a GM.

Having said that Idk how Chevy doesn't make another minor depth forward move at the very least, some guys went for very little yesterday. I can't excuse Chevy for not acquiring Sundqvist, Ritchie, Domi, etc. One more move could've drastically improved that bottom six which has like four guys that should be in the AHL ffs!</div></div>

Look at their asset management and drafting over the years, their drafting after the first round has sucked. Also losing Essymoint and Kovacevic has been terrible.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Cory</b></div><div>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.</div></div>

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.
