The biggest mistake Chevy made was holding onto Maurice for 2 seasons too long. It was pretty clear after 18-19 that Maurice's team had peaked. Feel like this franchise is stuck wanting to be the Pittsburgh Steelers but we need to win something to hold that kind of loyalty.
Confirmed with Link: Chevy signs 3 year extension

People really waving their pom poms bc we're better than the senators? Wow.
Over the last few weeks I've read on here at least were not the senators, Canadiens or coyotes.
That is the bar now? Jfc. No wonder why Chevy gets a "job well-done" from ownership.

I don't disagree that a change in management might be a good thing but its really only been one year where we have officially missed the playoffs the last 4. I get this year has been a huge disappointment but things can change in this league in a hurry. We will just have to wait and see what happens.

No one is waving pom poms, but there is a difference between wanting to take a wait and see approach to what will unfold after really only one awful year in the last 6 and wanting to burn it all to the ground and get rid of everyone.

If true then good. There needs to be some distance between the owner and the hockey club. Chipman has been way to closely involved with the Jets day to day operations for my liking.
If that is the case it will make it a lot easier to cheer for another team.

I think just the opposite. As much as I crap on Chevy, I think he's done reasonably well in trade and player contract negotiations. I don't think he's done well in evaluating players as per their skill level (especially on D) and how they will fit with this team's needs. The Jets need someone in the higher up position with a better vision for building the team.
Well played….

There was a poll at the end of last summer after all the moves were made about Chevy's work and fans overwhelmingly game him an A.
I don't want this post to be seen as "defending Chevy" but Chevy hasn't made atrocious moves. In recent years there have been moves made by him that I disagreed with... some of them marginal and could be argued either way (Hayes trade, Vegas XD moves) and others that I think Chevy was completely wrong about (not re-signing Stempniak, trading up for Stanley in 2016) but on balance I don't think Chevy has made the kind of franchise destroying moves that I see other GMs making.
I see Chevy as part of the solution... sure you can fire him and you may end up with someone better but there is a good chance that you end up with someone worse similar to what happened with Maurice. Atleast Chevy is "the devil you know" and isn't gonna do something franchise ruining like trading Ehlers for Adam Larsson.

AFAIK Larry Simmons handles most of the contract and cap stuff. I could see Simmons being promoted to GM and Chevy being promoted to above him. I have only heard good things about Simmons so would be interesting for sure.
Chevy should thank his lucky stars our media is soft and our national attention is quite low.

Yes. Larry Simmons is in charge of the contracts and cap.

Larry Simmons is the capologist and again, certainly has to provide the financial framework for Chevy to work within. Chevy would still be the one sitting down with the player agents to handle negotiations. If this is what actually comes to pass, I think it will confirm the Peter Principle.

Expect the worst, you’ll never be disappointed.
I am disappointed, I wanted to see what Chevy could do in his last year. The extension is mind boggling.

I’m starting to believe the Sip was correct when he said there would be no changes at all next season……….

Stastny always looks like he loves playing with Ehlers :laugh: He’s also probably the single best player to fit with Ehlers.hfboards.mandatory.com

He built a legit contender that peaked in 2018. Unfortunately, he hung on to Maurice way too long which seemed to allow for rot to seep in to the core’s foundation. Like it or not, he’s the GM of this franchise for another 3 years. Hopefully he has the courage to act in a way that is decisive enough to change the culture of the room entirely.
And he needs to get the right coach.
And he needs to get the right coach.
I’m okay with extending Chevy if he was at the end of his contract, but with it being a three-year extension they should still cut him next year if the team underperforms. No “well let’s wait until the contract ends and we’ll amicably part ways” nonsense.

If this is in fact true, and Chevy remains the GM and wasn't in the works prior to day and only came together in the last few hours then one has to hope that it wasn't Chipman telling Chevy "good job, stay the course" and Chevy actually had steps he plans to take and a framework laid out for those steps to happen and not just some status quo B.S.
Maybe Chevy intends to hit the ground running tomorrow morning before he heads out to the cottage.
Step One-Fired entire coaching staff and commence the search for a new HC, unless he's already been beating the bushes on that.
Step Two-Convince PLD to sign here. Same with Stastny and Comrie. Work on other RFA's after.
Step Three-Have Jax Teller and the SOA smack Scheifele around a bit so he can wake up to reality.
Step Four-Start figuring out who needs to stay and who needs to go and what pieces we need to truly contend and where to get those. I, like so many others here feel a new coaching staff and systems that make sense will change many of the losses we had this seasons into wins next season even if the personnel stayed the same, which it can't. Look at all the game film and see who works best together, and what clearly doesn't work and fix it and find players who will complete a line or make for the best D pairings.
Step Five-Win a damn Cup before I have to meet my maker.

The cynical part of me is thinking that the reason why it wasn't announced officially was because they were going to put on a show of auditing the performance of the team and make a few window dressing changes and mostly remain the same.
I think both Scheifele and Stastny's interviews lit a fire that they need to put out now. Wiebe leaking that Chevy was already extended should have fans irate.
But he did not and it was an awful season. Looks like players will be held accountable. Next up Huddy and Lowry sign as co-head coaches for 3 years.
who thought just hours after the jets last season game that would be anything to talk about other than the SC playoffs/draft!!
and that last win streak was a bad omen of things to come.....

good God this phrase has gotten annoying. On top of being vague and silly it's just completely oblivious to the part where all the winningest organizations are also put together by an "old boys club". In every sport.

Whiteout Is Coming.
I totally agree but the million dollar question is did Chipman refused to let Chevy fired Maurice.
Maybe that explains the new 3 year deal Chevy got.
I'm ok with this. Too many changes at once could create chaos. A new coaching staff and some shakeup trades is worth a shot. If it doesn't work, then bring in a new GM to blow things up.
This team has been bad for 4 years. If not for elite goaltending they would have missed in 2020 and last year.
