This seems like the org doing small favours for agents so that they can get some return on more important matters.

OMG, it seems some people thought this was serious.Once again, asset mismanagement has cost the Jets a valuable player. First Kovy, then Eyssy, now Axey. After a breakout 6 goal season, he'll walk for nothing because of one stinkin' game. Next year, he'll be a valuable top 6 25 goal scorer, I'll bet.
Fire Chevy!

Billeck is such a clown. The guy just takes any opportunity to make the team look bad and loses all credibility with examples like this.
Calling Fjallby an asset is hilarious. The dude has no value. What an idiot.

No value? Well, what does that say about Chevy for acquiring him in the first place?
Seriously another PB guy is going to be a UFA and this is news?
Who cares there are dozens of this caliber of Ayer on waivers every day throughout the year. I would hope we actually plan to ice a competent bottom 6 next year made up of actual good players and not a collection of waiver wire picks.

I am not sure if I'd want the Jets to even qualify AJF if he was an RFA... much ado about nothing. The guy passed through waivers, not losing sleep over the end of the AJF era in Winnipeg

You will when the Karson Kuhlman era ends though.

Hmm. I would have to clear it with Mrs. Jetson first.
.... Uh, sorry, I have bad news.
But the good news is at least I no longer need the services of Dr. Jay!
He has to be the biggest ass clown out of all the local modes and that is a pretty sorry bunch.
I liked what AJF brought in comparison to guys like Maenalanen and Kuhlman, but what I’d like even more is for the Jets to move on from all of them and make a better effort to ice a competent bottom six.

We went into the season with ALOT of holes in the bottom 6. These guys were placeholders until the trade deadline additions. He was never going to be re-upped.
Eric Comrie all over again, as in, Jets let a tweener player go they got for free and people blow it way the f*** out of proportion.

I almost wonder if Chevy let's some unimportant player miss his retention by 1 game , just so people go nuts over this and it takes their attention away from the real issues on this team???

No value, but he played 50 F'n games for the Jets this season!
He outscored, Slow Gus, the two pylons in Man-No-Laine-men and Stundland in basically the same number of games, plus he has something those three lack: SPEED

And yet, he scored at a higher rate than any player in the bottom 6. Including Lowry. Him and Harkins scored goals at a higher rate than everybody except Scheifele, Ehlers, Neiderreiter, and Connor. While playing with much worse linemates. Team could have looked a lot better if they'd played their best options for depth.
Fjallby and Gustafsson got scored on on the penalty kill at almost half the rate that Stenlund did. Gustafsson's face-off percentage had nearly caught up to Stenlund by the end of the season, while having a much better face-off percentage in the defensive zone. Both Gustafsson and Fjallby scored at higher rates than Stenlund. What the f*** did Stenlund bring to this team?
And before I get the "it wouldn't have made any difference" comments, switching a player out with one that's more likely to score and less likely to get scored on makes a difference. Maybe it wouldn't have been enough of a difference, but the goal should always be to give yourself the best odds to win and for some reason we don't. Nice to see Harkins carry the Moose kicking and screaming to game 5. Nice to see Eyssimont signed to a one way contract with a perennial contender. Nice to see Fjallby, who again, produced better than any player in our bottom 6 while having good defensive metrics, walk for nothing over 1 game.
I'm cranky after the Moose game, that's probably obvious though
Which reminds me, you know who put the dagger in the Moose's season? A guy the Jets were playing in the top 6 last year while fighting for a playoff spot. It's frustrating to see the Jets never being good enough when they won't even use what they have to be the best version of themselves.

You’re right; it wouldn’t have made any difference …….

Did the jets purposely let him become a ufa to be loyal ?
Or did they just forget ? And miss it ?
Or they didn’t care ?
