One of the things not being discussed with the Jets right now is the contract status of both head coach Paul Maurice and GM Kevin Cheveldayoff, both of whom are entering the final year of their deals. While it’s not surprising that with the SCF happening and the commissioner’s preference for all other news to be muted, there has been plenty of time to get these deal done already.
For the pessimistically inclined this lack of action is nothing short of the owner being somewhat skeptical of the results to date and the problems that exist within the roster. By so many accounts this team should be better than it is and that means there’s some one or some thing at fault.
Is it Paul Maurice, a coach who presents articulately and with confidence but seems to have mediocre results at best no matter where he goes? What about the roster, one built through some excellent drafting at the top end but hardly enough for a team acquired not built from scratch. After six drafts should there be more to show than Lowry, Copp, Scheifele, Trouba, Ehlers, Laine, Morrissey and Hellebuyck? Both Connor and Roslovic are close and if you consider that Chiarot has played regularly then it’s not looking so bad is it? Is that on Maurice- perhaps.
That’s the curious part and where so many observers arrive, why is this team not better given it’s parts?
