A lot of people are pointing at the Winnipeg Jets and seeing how patient they have been and after 7 years with zero playoff wins and top 10 picks they have appeared to be breaking out. That is all well and good but I am no where near that patient.
I feel lucky that we have a GM that is not afraid to shake things up. I have been a fan of all of his blockbuster deals. I admittedly was not a fan of the Elliott trade or the Bollig deal but his 3 monster draft deals are all solid in my books. I am glad he did not stick with Gulutzan even though Peters was not my top choice I am happy that GG is gone.
I am also okay taking a half step back in the Hamilton trade because I don’t think this team was as far ahead as many (including myself) thought a year ago. I am happy we have a GM that pivotts when he makes a mistake, has the balls to make a big trade, and is aggressive in changing the team when things go poorly.
I am looking forward to giving my final thoughts on Treliving this summer once the rest of the heavy lifting is done. This team still needs a top 6 forward and I am curious to see how he acquires one.
