It seems to me that they keep running him out there because of Pavelec's salary and taking the cheapass route on a backup with all of 3 NHL games.
Winnipeg has all the look of a team more interested in counting pennies than competing.

Yep. The Jets have flown under the radar letting teams like the Oilers, Islanders, and Panthers have the limelight of dysfunction but they are every bit as incompetent. It's obvious they brought in the wrong people from day one as an inexperienced GM brought in an inexperienced head coach that quite frankly should never have been handed an NHL head coaching job as Noel rivals Eakins as being in way over their heads in the NHL. To compound things you have a GM that is petrified to make any trades of significance. He is handling Kane like Gillis handled Luongo as everyone knows it's not going to work hell or high water as the player doesn't want to be there but they are holding out for a deal they will never receive and in turn the disgruntled player will continue to be a distraction which will likely hit a boiling point where they are forced to move him for far less than they could have got if they had made the move when they had some leverage. Just a mess.
