So maybe picking on ownership is not fair. They’re not the ones trying to execute the game plan either, that’s 100% Brad. We’re pretty fortunate in that we have an ownership group that can spend to the cap and do not meddle. So again, comes down to Treliving. He’s had a very ideal situation and let’s call a spade a spade here. He severely underperformed just like his players did.
I can see very clearly that you’re a Brad Treliving fan, so I’d be curious to know where you draw the line. At what point would you say enough is enough Brad, you’ve had your chance?
Also, that #2 pick in Laine or PLD is not what makes the Jets good. Heck, they were kicking our butts without Laine or PLD in the line up. The Jets are good because their core is lead by an elite #1 center in Mark Scheifele and they have built through patience by drafting great core players in every position. They have depth everywhere on the ice and if they still had Byfuglien patrolling the blue line, they probably would’ve been perennial Stanley Cup contenders last season and this season.

Nailed it
2016 notwithstanding as we made out pretty good with Tkachuk, 2011-14 drafts tell a tale of 2 small market Canadian franchises
2011 - jets get schiefele at 7, we get Baertschi at 13
2012 - jets draft Trouba at 9, we get Janko 21 and a 2nd round pick of sfa for trading down
2013 - we get mony at 6, jets get morrisey at 13
2014 - we get bennett at 4, jets get ehlers at 8
Over this 4 year period, jets drafted a 1c, 2 top 4 d and top 6 f. We did not. Hope the jets scouts got a good bonus for their work.
