Winnipeg Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff spoke with the media Monday morning, and the disappointment and despair were evident.
Cheveldayoff offered few concrete answers to the burning questions surrounding the last-place Jets, but he did assure the fan base that no one is standing pat and that every option is being examined to improve the team.
Has the season been an unmitigated disaster? Are the Jets willing to risk placing a player on waivers? Could call-ups from the minors be on the way? Are changes coming behind the bench? How secure does Cheveldayoff feel in his role? How does he evaluate his offseason decisions? And why hasn’t a trade been made?
Cam and Jim break it all down, digging into Cheveldayoff’s comments and offering their own perspective on everything said during his scheduled mid-season availability.

Stop kissing ass!
STOP. Stop trying to quick fix this team. There’s no quick fix. Just stop. We’re in a rebuild whether you want to admit it or not, whether the Jets acknowledge it or not. You’re talking about screwing our future to try to fix something that can’t be fixed. You have to look way further down the road than next year. We need to start petitioning the team for a rebuild. The other option is still a rebuild, but a much longer turnaround.
Who actually thought Chevy would take responsibility for this circus and the clowns he brought in. He said he still has passion for the game so he should keep his job 😂 At this point he’s right to do nothing. The last thing this franchise needs to do this season is win. Anyone who’s suspected the Jets bury young talent has been proven correct. Agents and those drafted by this team should refuse to report and insist on a trade. It’s one thing to lose your dream of playing in the show because you don’t have what it takes it’s another to see you will never be given an opportunity to grow and show what you can do in the league. F Chevy F Arniel and F Chipman. You won’t see another cent from me until management and this inept coaching staff and players are shipped out of town.
You guys are coddling Chevy like he's coddling the players. If the young players come up and fail, you've now got more information.
LAMBERT knows how this team works, he wants a team that's more aggressive and will give him a chance.
Toth at 32:55 saying “I’m not a homer” when his entire brand while on air has been to defend TNSE and the jets at any opportunity
Really Toth a good team.? Maybe on paper. This is a very bad team with no prospects and nothing to trade for.
Chevy should stop with double speak and treat the fans with respect.
He destroyed our team, he should resign.
Jim. This is just entertainment. Send some down. Bring some guys up. Make a trade. It is entertainment. Make some new drama
Simplify his babbling – fire him. At least make that change
Nothing
In reality this team sucks. On paper it looks good
Thing is he never has answer's…
You guys are soft man. The jets suck and its ok to admit. Its a really bad team. Just because we have Olympians on this team doesn't make the team good Jim…..
Chevy talks like a politician = lot of hot air
I think what Chevy said publicly today is different to what he and the Jets brass talk about behind closed doors. Chevy is trying to mitigate fan panic while working the phones. He wants to make changes, but the rest of the league isn't looking to sell talent right now. The Jets can't force a dance partner until another team falls out of contention.
Did you guys just finish blowing chevy.
The jets suck now and into the future with no good picks etc. He needs to be fired. His times done.
The talking heads are chevys perfect audience.
Luckily there’s only 32 teams and not 50
Im gonna crash out, if I hear one more time that "This team does not suck" i swear to god. Name me even ONE other NHL team that has 5 FORWARDS with 14-30 game goalless droughts. Enough with the cheerleading, sometimes reality isnt sunshine and rainbows…
They should have blood pressure warning at the start of this show listening to Toth’s ridiculous takes might be the end of me.
The answer to that first question quoted ( 0:22 ) is that this season for the Winnipeg Jets has undoubtedly been an unmitigated disaster.
In what world doesn’t this team suck? They are literally the Atlanta Thrashers in 2011 with a goalie.
If they replace Chevy, better not be with Jim Toth
Jim toth for gm he wouldn't be scared to trade .
You know ? You know ? You know ! I counted only 19 this interview…. Hes getting better! You know !
Basically…… he doesnt care. This jerk needs to be fired.
I've been sour on Perfetti for 3 years, never liked Niederreiters game from day 1 and have recently soured on Lowry & DeMelo so for me all of these guyz are trade bait!!!
Chevy is real hard to listen too. Say something to the fans.
Then its the Coach simple as that!
The team sucks ass Toth.. no good team will lose 9 damn games in a row. That's pathetic
Why is Gustaffson not on the team? He could do the 4th line centre as good as anyone they have now and for cheaper
Yes I I said front he begging when Chevy let go tanev,ehlers, Appleton, and brought in Toews, Pearson and nyquist… I said from that moment we let go people that were some what productive and brought in 3 players Chevy was banking on having rebound yrs Pearson, nyquist all did dog water they’re previous yrs. Toews was off from Covid for 2 yrs and his numbers were declining before that. It was NOT hard to tell the moves Chevy made in the off season killed this team… not to mention helle covered up major holes we had for lots of yrs and now that he’s having a bad regular season the holes show even more
Chevy should have been gone long time ago
OmG you both are like listening to a Laurel and Hardy skit but not funny. You two need to listen to what Mike Mcintyre and Connor Hrabchuk have said about the Jets current situation. Two guys way sharper and aware of what a mess this is and that it was created by this management team “who didn’t see it coming” . Even the Scouts have failed to evaluate draft picks and FA’s in the last 7 years. What good is trading now to get more scoring? To finish 25th? It’s time to move out some valuable pieces (Nino,Iafallo,Stanley)to get more picks and play a couple of young prospects. 15 years of one person’s vision is enough. Getting a top draft pick this year can only help and it would be best selected by someone with fresh eyes!
Cam there's only no answers for the people who steared into the problem. For the people who saw it coming there's plenty of answers.
This is Bone's system they aren't playing it because Arniel bring snothing to to the table
Dude you can only say that you didn't remember things because you don't listen
