8 years ago, and crucially it was with multiple key guys on entry level contracts. Connor, Laine, Ehlers, Morrissey, Roslovic, and Armia were all on ELCs. Then Trouba, Hellebuyck, Lowry, Copp all making $3M or less. Unfortunately we don't have any prospects of the Connor or Laine caliber and the ones we do have we don't seem to want to integrate.
I don't think Chevy has done a bad job. Looking at his 15 year resume there's been some really great moments from him. And the family culture he's helped build is a large reason guys choose to stay here. But it might be time to move on. Sometimes coaches and GM's run their course. The best example is Paul Maurice. He's a really good coach and was exactly what the Jets needed for a while. But by the end it was time to part ways. I think Chevy has reached a similar point.
