I still hold to the position that the person who created this mess and did not change it when it was clearly visible to all and sundry that it was badly needed is not the person to repair it. If you took you car repeatedly for 11 years and he did a mediocre job every time and got the car running only occasionally, you would take your business somewhere else. Only difference is 31 of 32 places can't your car fully running and one that did this year. Most likely won't be the same shop next year. Oh not to mention 98% of the mechanics don't want to work for your preferred shop. Don't agree with your take. Fully half of the league is good enough to challenge in the playoffs year after year and the Jets cannot manage to do that. The biggest detriment (IMO) to good players signing here is not the weather or city or fans- it is the "good enough" culture of the team and management. That is not what I see Bowness putting up with and lasting here.

That is not what I see Bowness putting up with and lasting here. It is not just the 'good enough' culture. It is the complete lack of attention to team chemistry (toxic may be too strong of a word to describe the locker room) and addressing problems. This team's approach is - draft the best players and just throw them in a room together and it should work because of the talent.

Ok the list of mechanics went up from 85% to 98% because of the room ok sure.

The epic fail of the Winnipeg Jets GM was failing to be pro-active during the 21-22 debacle. Trade value would have been premium to clean house at the deadline, or offseason. The future of certain players and their commitment was obvious.
He ran it back and here we are.
I saw something on Twitter from the Jets about some kind of contest for next season. Win airfare, tickets, meet Blake Wheeler and get a game used stick. Anyone else see this? Is it for real? Say it isn't so.
I just went back and found it again. Looks like it's for real. Wheeler will be in charge of the dressing room for one more season. We have much to be optimistic about.
I'm sure Bowness is feeling all warm and fuzzy, knowing his loyal leader will return.

The only thing I could find was about A Fishing With The Jets contest from this season, which had a prize of going fishing with Wheeler & Ladd at Island Lake. That prize is happening right now according to the Jets Twitter page.

I'm thinking there's probably an availability and substitution disclaimer somewhere in the fine print. Timing seems weird. You would think they would have held off a bit.

All I can see is them talking about this year's Project11 contest winner posted about 5 hrs ago.

There you go. Maybe he's staying around, but you think they might have held off until this season's dust settled.

Ugh....that is pretty sad. Thanks for the link.
**Maybe it will be with Wheeler on the visiting team? Wishful thinking...**

I was mistaken when I thought that. Or on the Jets website. It could be somebody playing. I guess we'll see. If it's legit, I'm sure the team has written in a disclaimer just in case he's gone.

Wheeler will be gone, count on it. Wheels won’t be here for the upcoming season.
