Leadership for the Winnipeg Jets say they’ll be taking a long, hard look at the team during the off-season.
The Jets dropped 34 points and 25 places in the standings from their Presidents’ Trophy-winning run last year. Head coach Scott Arniel acknowledged that it isn’t what anyone wants — or expects — out of the team.
“I’m extremely disappointed, I know our players are,” said Arniel. “Management, ownership, this is not where we want to be with the Winnipeg Jets.”
Both Arniel and GM Kevin Cheveldayoff say they will be looking at analytics and the success of other teams to see how they can up their game next year.
At the same time, Cheveldayoff continued to affirm his commitment to the team’s “core” players.
