I recommend travelling, I've met many many people in Winnipeg who have never visited anywhere and are completely oblivious at what the world is like elsewhere. I can't remember who was #2 or #3 on the least desired places to play, but I'd imagine Edmonton would be near those numbers. -30 winters, absolutely zero night life, Canadian dollar, higher taxes, the worst "outdoors scenery" as in it's boring and flat, worst amenities for richer people, country bumpkin atmosphere, below average places/entertainment for families.... why in the world would a 25 - 30 year old single guy with money and/or guy with a young family want to pick Winnipeg vs 30 other options that offer far more. But in your opinion one single poster on a forum who speaks nothing but the truth is the reason why a free agent would decline signing with the Jets. Not to mention for years it has been reported that lots of players have Winnipeg on the no trade list for destinations. Chevy has a huge disadvantage compared to most other GM's when it comes to bringing in players to the team. To put your head in the sand and say it's the poor attitude of someone like me is a huge case of loser denial. Unfortunately the truth hurts. Chevy takes what he can get... if Chevy as the GM of Florida, Vegas, Utah etc... he'd have a much easier time constructing a team.
