ANALYSIS: With trade deadline looming, what’s Jets GM’s move? – Winnipeg

The Winnipeg Jets will look to increase a franchise-record profitable streak after they host San Jose on Monday night time.

However will the Jets’ continued success impact GM Kevin Cheveldayoff’s technique, with the buying and selling deadline now only a week and a half away?

There are two colliding theories at play right here for the Jets’ common supervisor and his trusted internal circle of advisors: If it ain’t broke, depart the restore equipment within the storage, and if a deep playoff run is the purpose, you may by no means have sufficient depth.
