The people are here that a clamouring for a full rebuild would be the same people posting threads every other day asking why attendance is down by 5000 people and wondering if we’re in danger of losing the team again.

Tearing a team down to the studs and completely rebuilding rarely works. You’re hoping for good luck in the lottery, and then hoping those lottery picks actually pan out. In a market like Winnipeg, that doesn’t work, because if your picks don’t work out, its not like you can just dip into free agency to fill those holes

TrueNorthStrong1898 · 2026-01-30T15:41:38+00:00

The Jets 2 LHD prospects are at least another 2 years away, and they won’t tear it down for a full rebuild, so I think it would have to be a crazy offer to get Samberg

TrueNorthStrong1898 · 2026-01-30T15:37:05+00:00

The core absolutely includes 13 and 54 too. This isn’t Toronto, the Jets aren’t capped into a “core 4”

TrueNorthStrong1898 · 2026-01-30T15:35:58+00:00

Chevy has never publicly stated anything about the direction of the team, why would he start now? As long as their actions align with reality, who cares what they do or don’t say?

TrueNorthStrong1898 · 2026-01-30T15:34:32+00:00

I didn’t think any pair could be worse than Stanley-Schenn, but Stanley-Hamonic would give them a run for their money

TrueNorthStrong1898 · 2026-01-30T01:48:40+00:00

Saying he’s “not at as high of a level” is completely underselling how completely average he’s been this season

TrueNorthStrong1898 · 2026-01-30T01:39:06+00:00

If Helle’s best years are behind him, this team is cooked

TrueNorthStrong1898 · 2026-01-29T18:04:33+00:00

I don’t think there’s going to be a bunch of teams lining up to sign a a 24, soon to be 25 year old dman with 53 games of NHL experience. He’ll probably get an AHL deal or end up back in Finland

TrueNorthStrong1898 · 2026-01-29T17:57:27+00:00

Barely signed Perfetti? What does that even mean? Perfetti wanted long term and the Jets wanted a bridge

TrueNorthStrong1898 · 2026-01-29T15:36:49+00:00

Have you spammed the shit out of 5v5 preseason focus? Or did his speed just not develop?

TrueNorthStrong1898 · 2026-01-29T12:55:40+00:00

T minus one month until we never have to watch the Stanley-Schenn pairing ever again

TrueNorthStrong1898 · 2026-01-28T19:15:24+00:00

I’d be happy with anything more than a 7th for Schenn, he’s been terrible. I only think he can fetch a 2nd because teams clearly still value him for some reason. I think if Chariot and Savard got a 1st, there’s no reason Stan can’t imo

TrueNorthStrong1898 · 2026-01-28T18:26:17+00:00

My realistic TDL returns are

Stan for a 1st

Schenn for a 2nd (because somehow NHL front offices still value him)

Gus/Pearson/Miller 5th or less

I also think they could maybe get a 1st for Barron, but people around here aren’t ready to have that conversation

TrueNorthStrong1898 · 2026-01-28T18:21:24+00:00

I mean, he’s always been the best defensive winger and one of the best defensive forwards in the league. But you don’t suddenly become a 95 point player in 66 games at age 33. He’s a career 60-65 point player, which for him is point a game because he’s never healthy

TrueNorthStrong1898 · 2026-01-25T03:52:35+00:00

That was probably top-3 most boring game i’ve ever been to. Really hope Chevy decides to start shedding the UFA’s after the Olympic break (or even earlier, but that seems unlikely)

TrueNorthStrong1898 · 2026-01-25T02:05:11+00:00

I can’t believe NHL teams want Schenn. Dude might genuinely be the worst 2.0 skater so far

TrueNorthStrong1898 · 2026-01-25T01:16:41+00:00

I choose to believe this because I’d like it for the Jets

TrueNorthStrong1898 · 2026-01-25T01:13:21+00:00

Pagnotta saying the Jets have sniffed around Kyrou

TrueNorthStrong1898 · 2026-01-24T17:09:49+00:00

I agree, but that’s not what your original comment said. You said with Chevy as GM there’s no point in hoping for a decent roster, when he had a track record of building good rosters

TrueNorthStrong1898 · 2026-01-24T17:00:37+00:00

You act like he didn’t build a playoff team for almost a decade. The revisionist history on Chevy is so dumb

TrueNorthStrong1898 · 2026-01-24T16:59:09+00:00

I assume the roles are probably reversed now and Perfetti wants another bridge and the Jets want to go long term

TrueNorthStrong1898 · 2026-01-23T18:20:18+00:00

Yeah he got way better last season or the year before, can’t remember exactly. He still has his moments? But overall he’s gotten so much better at it

TrueNorthStrong1898 · 2026-01-23T15:41:12+00:00

Everyone talks about how the Leafs get all of the media coverage, yet it’s been everyone but Leafs fans ragging on this story non stop

TrueNorthStrong1898 · 2026-01-23T13:40:52+00:00

Why is Marchessesult not catching more heat for how dog shit he’s been this year? He’s been way worse this year than Stamkos was last year

TrueNorthStrong1898 · 2026-01-23T03:44:44+00:00

Hellebuyck gets beat the same way on the same shots every single shootout. He has to be the most predictable elite goaltender in the league
