I see you're one of those fans who never heard 29 other GM's and organizations say that they are also building through the draft.
Draft and develop is only a part of building a team, something that Chevy hasn't fully grasped yet.
One short playoff appearance in six seasons and you're happy with Chevy's so-called work?
Six seasons in and you're team is 3rd last in the NHL! Your AHL team is 3rd last. Chevy is supposedly building a talent pool, where's the proof?
I'm absolutely mind boggled that people think Chevy should have built a championship team in WINNIPEG in 6 years or less. It's WINNIPEG. You're not gonna attract many top tier free agents no matter what, and any other fans who live outside Winnipeg know the bs that gets said about it all the time. And, believe it or not, it takes time to fill up an NHL roster with mostly players obtained from the draft
Chevy has built a very young squad in the top half of the league when it comes to offensive numbers. Everyone has already agreed, the main problems this team has is goaltending and Coaching (poor defensive systems). The coaching issue was made known this year, but the goaltending was known the entire time, but chevy was given a pass on it because we were waiting for Helle/Comrie to be ready. Helle sh*** the bed this year, Hutch does as well, coaching proves to be poor. NOW is the time for Chevy to act, not before, because no one realized all 3 of those parties would do so poorly. You can all say you knew better, but I saw how happy people were with the lineup at the beginning of the season, you're not fooling anyone.
I am happy with chevys work so far, apparently im the only one but that's fine. Chevy has done fine work building this team for the future, and it's close to being a perennial playoff team. Fixing either the coaching or goaltender gets us in, that's all we need. I won't be disappointed with him until he fails to fix either the coaching problem (whether that be firing maurice or the assistants) or goalie issue (acquire a decent seasoned vet (bishop, halak, fleury) before the start of next season.
