Winnipeg Jets: Why Trading Joel Armia Was A Costly Mistake

Last year at the trade deadline we saw Kevin Cheveldayoff get really busy. Cheveldayoff has been our general manager since day one in Winnipeg and has done an outstanding job. He took a bunch of misfit veterans on a team who hadn’t won a playoff game in their entire ten plus years of existence, and basically tore them down to the studs.

Flipping players that were too old or didn’t fit, but taking his time and being patient was the key. We only have a few players from the original 2011 Jets, which really shows you how much he has changed this team, all in good ways.
