The thing is, Laine isn't what made the Jets the team they are now. It was several great drafts combined with solid coaching and development. Winnipeg would be a damn good team with or without Laine. Staying the course and following a proper building plan for several seasons gifted them with a top tier scorer that only adds to their immense depth.
Knee jerk reactions such as unnecessarily signing FAs Brouwer/Raymond, refusing to solve the long term goaltending issue and bringing in crummy PTO players every year instead of promoting from within and living with growing pains is what puts this franchise exactly where it deserves to be. Winnipeg is the anti Calgary and it sucks for everyone who cheers for this team that deserves a much better product.
