The National Hockey League's trade deadline has passed and Winnipeg Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff did the only thing I expected him to do, trading winger Drew Stafford to the Boston Bruins for a conditional sixth-round pick.
This is a team that treads carefully unless forced to do otherwise (as in the Evander Kane situation and subsequent trade).
The Jets are much better off today, as they don't have an aging, non-productive "goal-scorer" taking up a spot that a younger, better player can develop and produce in.
