Allaire's best two students were Roy and Giguere so I'm sure the coaching in Colorado for goalies is pretty autonomous for Allaire.

Great job Chevy/Noel. Noel for Burmi's depature.
We had a huge hole on the third line that could have easily been filled and Chevy did F A about it.

Jets offered Raymond a contract he said no thanks
Grabovski was too much $$$ (my opinion anyways)
Burmistrov is "lighting up" a much lesser league.
There was limited cap flexability this year to get allot done IMO.
Next year with the cap going up (probably) and allot of the RFA's deals done long term, the jets could (should) get something going this next off season.
Patience is a virtue
Grabo for $3M was too much, but LIttle at $4.7 is okay?
Reportedly, from Jet's source, Raymond said no because he wanted more than one year. So that doesn't make sense. or the very least we could have went back after him when it was apparent he wasn't getting multi year deal. His gf/wife is from here, I'm willing to be $1.5M would have changed his mind.
Burmi's numbers probably wouldn't translate, but you're kidding yourself if you think he couldn't do better than what's out there now.
Raymond's wife/gf is from here, I'm sure if we outbid Toronto by a bit, he'd be more than happy to come here.
Those were just a few examples, I'm sure there are other players out there that could have been had for cheap and we passed because we were going with our garbage players.
It's laughable anyone tries to defend Chevy for going into the season with a hole in the third line when it could have been filled so easily.

If their defence is so terrible why do they lead the league with only allowing 21.2 shots against per game?

What's laughable is your gross oversimplification of talent analysis and gross oversimplification of contract negotiation.
Do you know they didn't try to go after him again? For all we know they did try. Did it ever occur to you that maybe after Raymond found out that teams weren't willing to give him what he wanted contract wise sought out the team that would give him the most opportunity to maximize his earning potential going into next year when teams have cap space again.
Toronto plays a fast up temple all out offensive system which is taylormade to his game. So instead of potentially settling for a 2 year 1.5 million deal he takes a gamble and potentially sets himself up for the multi year 3 million deal he wanted this past summer. He wouldn't have gotten the same opportunity here with Ladd and Kane ahead of him.
Also, the knock on Raymond is he disappears in the playoffs, and according to Ray Ferraro, "his play away from the puck isn't nearly good enough".
That said, I agree, he would be an upgrade to our current top 9. But to say Chevy missed the boat likely isn't accurate, as its been noted there was interest by TNSE. Takes two to get a deal done.
Chevy does have some work to do with the bottom 6. Assuming Kane-Scheif-Wheeler and Ladd-Little-Seto continue to be our top 6, the only guy I really like in our bottom 6 is Frolik. For me, there's 5 spots that can be upgraded, though I'm ok with Peluso as a 4th liner (and face puncher when needed). Olli at $4.5 mill is such a waste of money. Far greater waste of $ and cap space than Hainsey or Antro ever were, imo, last season.
Imagine if we were getting our money's worth with Olli.

You're right, Tangradi, Wright and Halischuk are awesome! Go Jets!!!! Wooo!
ANd you're right about contract negotiations. Raymond signed for $1M. Tough to beat that deal!!!!
He signed for $1M. We didn't try very hard if he signs for $1M. Period. Halischuk, Wright, Tangradi are a joke. Wake up people.

Not once did I say any of that. I simply said your gross oversimplification was laughable.
You compared point totals from the KHL to ones from the NHL. As if that means anything at all.
You said a player would for sure sign here if the Jets offered him more money cause his wife is from here.
Both those are gross oversimplifications. [mod]

So, you're saying Burmistrov isn't a better option than Tangradi, Wright, or Halischuk? Or where are you trying to take it now to make a point lol.
And yes, if the Jets gave him 50% more than the Leafs he would probably come here. It was obvious he wasn't getting multi year deal, and he was taking whatever he could get.
And once again, if you can comprehend, that was one example of many upgrades we could have had over the garbage we have now. Pick apart any little piece of this post as you want to try and prove your point, but that's the truth.

All things being equal why would Grabo or Raymond want to sign short term deals on a small market team that everyone has picked to miss the playoffs?
They want to showcase their talents in order to get a sweeter deal next year. Winnipeg isn't the place for that. Raymond would have been crazy to take a deal in Winnipeg over Toronto even at 0.5m more. They are playing the long game for contracts.
We you think that Winnipeg had more allure to Grabo than as a Russian to play on a team with Ovi in a Olympic year?
If Grabo signed with the Jets Scheifele would be playing for the Ice Caps this season. No need for five centers. If that had happened people would be *****ing about Marky not being given a chance with the Jets.
