Mark Chipman doesn't want Jets fans to think there will be any quick fixes that will vault the team into the NHL's upper echelon of talent any time soon: "Since the lockout, if you look at the teams that have had success and won — Chicago, Pittsburgh, Detroit, they build from within. The best example for us is Nashville. They draft well and develop and provide a stable environment that fosters winning. They're the best example for us. Now that they're close, they're trying to make a few tweaks to go after the Cup. The Nashville example is very fitting for us." [WFP]
