Confirmed with Link: Chevy signs 3 year extension

[tbcwpg]

I get that. And also get that Chevy can't shit on this team publicly. But if I'm a STH spending 10s of thousands of dollars contracted in for a min of X years, I'm a little annoyed. This gm has been here for 11 years and possibly another 3, and his work is average at the very best, with one fluke year.

But I'm not one of those people. So

Yeah, it's not change which would've been nice but if they get a good coaching hire and do some surgery on the team, not firing Chevy isn't going to be some big misstep either.

 

[None]

It's funny that Chevy pointed to the core group of players as the reason for his extension but doesn't want to own their comments from this past week

 

[cbcwpg]

This team is where it is because the guy they just gave a 3 year extension to let it get to this point.

 

[AWSAA]

lol @ this franchise. I don't even bother to watch hockey any more. Raps, Jays, and Bombers are enough sports for me. Thanks for saving me money Chipman.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Chevy is one of the best general managers in the league.

 

[DRW204]

So? The end result is the same. And I don't believe anything leaks out of TNSE unless they want it to.

I think there'd be even more of an uproar from fans if they had a presser announcing his extension with Chipman complimenting all the work Chevy did, following the soundbites from Stastny and Scheifele.

He is either the best GM or the worst GM

At least that is what this thread has taught me

Ive been ok with the job he's done, but I will say this summer is the end of my rope for him.......either make it significantly better or get out. That being said I understand why Chipman gave him an extension, but I think anyone assuming Chipman has no expectations of Chevy is wrong.

I think there's far worse than him in the league currently. I just don't understand how anyone could ignore the players calling for accountability and look at Chevy and say he's been held accountable or has held anyone below him to any level of accountability.

Jets players wake this morning out of the playoffs and it's snowing.

Chevy probably earns $2 million a year so $6 million down the drain in beer.

One thing Chipman did right is the one year STH contracts.

 

[leer2006]

How is anyone who has been/or is a season ticket holder content with this?

I’m not. That’s why I didn’t renew.

I wish they’d answer truthfully as I truly feel that if Chevy wasn’t going to fire PoMo. I really want to know what he believes he was seeing. Because it wasn’t what any of us were. I also think he should publicly shit on the team he built. Call the players out. Someone has too cause we all know the coach wasn’t. That being said I’m sure the exit interviews should be done really pleasant exchanges.

I feel like I say this most years, lol. and then at the end of the summer i say, okay, well, not what I would have done, but not too bad and I can see why he went that direction. but i agree, this summer is the end of my rope for him!

Been away from the NHL game for a while. Have never seen a coach need to manually remove himself from a team and contract and have the GM immediately declare that a rookie head coach has the reigns for the remainder of the year in a contending season.

Why would I watch next year when True North is going to call it an "evaluation year" for the new coaching Staff?

who said true north is going to call it an "evaluation year"? depending on the off season moves the coaching staff we bring in would be expected to win

PoMo not being fired still pisses me off. The ultimate grifter.

I'm a season ticket holder and in my mind this is the correct course of action. Going into the season I thought we had added to the back end by bringing in 2 top 4 defenders and we got Stastney back and Copp inked all being cap compliant with Little's LTIR hanging over our heads.

The GM brings the players and the coach but the coach determines strategy, line combos, utilization, etc.

What's clear to me at this point is that PoMo and the staff had 1 year left on their deals and Chevy decided to give it one more kick with PoMo and his crew at the helm, thinking he had built a contender and then if they fell short change it up the next year without having 2 sets of coaches salaries on the books. PoMo gave up mid season and we fell way short by not even making the playoffs.

In hindsight, that didn't work out and the coaching staff weren't able to get results from the group. We all have our opinions about why that may be.

Now it's about finding a coach that will deploy our skill and youth and play an exciting brand of hockey like Colorado, Florida or Carolina.

I don't actually get why someone wouldn't want Chevy back. He's doing a good job... I'd suggest better than most.

Chevy didn't say much but one interesting thing he did say was that he re-iterated that Maurice resigned for his own personal reasons and was not fired, nor was in the process of being fired. I have always maintained that I felt that Maurice was defacto fired and TNSE were just saving face by spinning it as a "mutual parting of ways". Him being so unequivocal about it being Maurice's decision again today is starting to make me wonder if it is true.

If Maurice really did resign on his own then there is probably something crazy going on with the Jets.... man do I wish Amazon Prime was doing a documentary on the Jets this season like they did on the Leafs last year. There must be so much good content behind the scenes.

 

[WickedPegJets]

Unreal.

This organization is addicted to mediocrity

Missed the playoffs and is rewarded with a 3-year contract extension. Amazing!!!

There are 31 Gym’s in this league. Half of them. Their teams made the playoffs. This team did not and has been an ok to mediocre team during the last few years. He has not been doing a good job. He is just as guilty as the coaching staff and players. Becoming complacent and just expecting the team to win.

 

[Al Camino]

He's average just like 75% of the league.

Jets have to determine Mark Scheifele's future ahead of critical off-season



Because the automatic URL embed wants to rip the video rather than the article itself

Edit: As I said in the other thread: I'm not sure what he's done to deserve that much security. How is he not feeling any heat for the situation this team is in?
Accountability starts at the top.

David Thomson is an absentee co-owner and co-owner Mark Chipman thinks Winnipeg Jets fans are just grateful to have a team so extending Chevy to 3 more years was a no brainer business decision.

That train left the station two or three years ago. Now they have boat anchor contract like Dillon, Schmidt, Lowry that are nearly untradeable and a backlog of defense prospects that are worth pennies on the dollar, because they didn't play youth when they were ready. Better to move on from a player one year too early than a year too late.

This team only got older and wasted prime years and team friendly contracts.

PoMo having to fire himself shows just how weak Chevy is.

Keep in mind what is said publicly is rarely the truth, I can't tell you how many times people on companies I've worked at suddenly are "retiring", not being fired but "retiring". When every single person knows they were fired or I should say allowed to "retire" immediately while keeping some pride. Some of those people I knew personally who confirmed they were given the option, retire now or be fired. None of us know what was said behind closed doors before PMO quit, but it may of been very different they some here think. In my mind, fired, quit, retired.....I don't care as long as he's not here is the point.
