<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheRealisticGuy</b></div><div>I really agree on the first part
I think you are a little bit hard on Chevy tho lol</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WPGSK</b></div><div>Valid point, but knowing the situation a smart GM accounts for that. The Jets have to get more Western CDN guys who are okay to play in WPG.

Start from scratch by drafting for and trading for young Western CDN kids. Build the team up like you would with youth sports clubs. They start together at 18-20 and play together for years getting to know each other, etc.. etc... sub in the odd vet where required, but make it like a junior team.

Kinda following what Ottawa has done.

Chevy is not a winner, doesn't know how to win, doesn't know how to work with his liabilities and has NO PLAN.

That's it.</div></div>

I don't think Chevaldayoff is a bad GM (I wouldn't really call him a good one either though) but I do think his hands are tied. All signs are pointing to the fact they should rebuild. Everyone inside and outside of Winnipeg knows they should rebuild, so I can't think he would be that blind to what is happening on the ice. I think someone or some people above him aren't allowing him to rebuild. I don't know if Chipman and the other owners are scared the fans won't support a rebuild or if they just legitimately think they're still good enough to win, but it's definitely frustrating. I would be more likely to continue supporting them the way I have if they just came out and said "Things haven't gone well over the past five years, we ask for your patience and support while we rebuild and try to develop a Stanley Cup winning team."
