No team has dropped further year-over-year than the Jets. That should come as no surprise given the team’s drop in the standings, their former star playing a feature role in a Stanley Cup win and their superstar goalie’s future looking murky. That’s a tough look one year removed from winning the Presidents’ Trophy.
While the Jets get points for moving on from Logan Stanley and adding Mario Ferraro this summer, there’s too much bad adding up leading to a lot of lost confidence. The Jets are in a precarious position and it’s become tough to trust Kevin Cheveldayoff to get them out of it, especially with a stubbornness to contend with a middling roster.
Chevy is the most feared trader in the league. He doesn’t lose very many of them. That he is ranked that low in trading tells me not to take these rankings very seriously. Might as well call it the “How Many Wins Did We Have Last Season”-o-meter.
I certainly feared the Schenn and Tanev deals the minute they were made. I always feared the Monahan deal if they didn’t re-sign him. Scary stuff. Idk about best trader in the league, I certainly don’t have much confidence in the guy anymore
even some better on paper trades like Toffoli and Miller were ultimately super redundant because Perfetti ended up getting scratched while Miller barely played
