In the offseason between the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 seasons, Cheveldayoff was hired by the Jets from the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/blackhawks\/\" target=\"_self\">Chicago Blackhawks<\/a>. In the 11 seasons since, the team has made the playoffs only five times and reached only one conference final. However, in all but one of those seasons, the team ended with over a 50% win percentage. This cycle of mediocrity has plagued the Jets since they moved to Winnipeg.<\/p>\n<p>However, Cheveldayoff has made some good moves as general manager. Possibly his most impactful was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/d\/duboipi01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pierre-Luc Dubois<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/r\/rosloja01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jack Roslovic<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/l\/lainepa01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Patrik Laine<\/a> trade back in January of 2021. In the October before, he acquired Paul Statsny from the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/vegas-golden-knights\/\" target=\"_self\">Vegas Golden Knights<\/a>. In January of 2020, he acquired <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/e\/eakinco01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cody Eakin<\/a> from Vegas as well. One of his more infamous trades is possibly the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/t\/troubja01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jacob Trouba<\/a> trade &#8211; acquiring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/p\/pionkne01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Neal Pionk<\/a> in the process.<\/p>\n<h3>What This Means For Winnipeg<\/h3>\n<p>With Kevin Cheveldayoff extended, this could mean three more years (at least) of the same for Jets fans. As the Central Division gets stronger, the Jets seem to only get weaker. When <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/h\/helleco01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Connor Hellebuyck<\/a> doesn&#8217;t play like a brick wall, the Jets struggle to win games. They finished with 89 points, good for sixth in the Central Division. They ended up eight points out of a wild card spot. Something needs to change, and soon, in Winnipeg if they want to be a playoff threat. However, it won&#8217;t be their GM that&#8217;s the change.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"tOmc8NJlSJd48CjZdBa0lQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1157489757\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'tOmc8NJlSJd48CjZdBa0lQ',sig:'DujxGMCvXpo007Qbc9D7699E5ItwcaCLK2D8Z2mhkN8=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1157489757',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Winnipeg Jets have reportedly made a business decision in their higher-ups.
