Ultimately, Jets did it to themselves and that 3rd and OT was representative of that; but we’ll save that anger and frustration for another day, in hopes that they don’t try to aim higher when they shoot themselves in the foot this off-season.

President’s Trophy season was fun. Another Vezina and maybe even a Hart for Hellebuyck was fun. Yet: could’ve, should’ve, would’ve done more. The Stanley Cup is the ultimate goal, and the journey persists and doesn’t get any easier.
Say what you will about the Boston team that was one of the best of all time. They spent to win at the trade deadline. The jets should have serious discussions about this. Chevy should be interrogated
This falls on Chevy, but it's certainly not over if he can make some good moves
Chevy has done a great job in this market. Jets with the most wins of any team over the past two seasons. Morrissey out was just another unfortunate blow.
(Chevy’s two deadline acquisitions were the worst and third worst net ratings, according to @hockeystatcards.com (and Stanley was 5th worst with only 5GP)… so he gets both his flowers and whatever is the equivalent opposite.)
It was a bad TDL. No doubt. But to me he still has a lot of credit for his GM performance. I think Arniel wears some of this too, because he has tried to shoe-horn Stanley into the top 6 for far too long, and if he had made it clear to Chevy that he needed better it might have changed things.
This. Assuming we make good additions to the areas that fell short in the offseason and/or next deadline we should still be in this window.
Morrisey out was a huge blow, but you can't help but think that the defense always should've been deeper. (See Luke Schenn's game)
Closest we'll ever get to the Cup. This was supposed to be our title run. We can't sign anyone who isn't another team's trash or is drafted by us. And honestly our drafting ain't shit. None of our prospects fill the needs we have.
