Personally, I think the Winnipeg Jets front office made a highly calculated decision and Arniel will prove many doubters wrong. Scott Arniel is definitely the right man for the job and is set to be a huge motivator for many Jets players entering the final year of their contracts in Winnipeg.
Arniel shoud have a positive trickle down effect on the entire Jets roster. With many players entering crucial career years, a fresh face behind the bench is just what the team needs to get motivated.
