While the deal was a long time coming, the reason behind the move is what has shocked fans, with Kevin Cheveldayoff opening up on what happened to force the trade from Winnipeg. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/WPGMurat/status/1826717607254474878'> </a></blockquote></div> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/WPGMurat/status/1826718220495323436'> </a></blockquote></div> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/WPGMurat/status/1826718222072381812'> </a></blockquote></div> According to Cheveldayoff, McGroarty's agent informed him that it simply 'didn't feel right' for McGroarty, with that process starting back at development camp, leading to the Thursday trade. Ultimately, moving him was the best move, because he has proven to be more drama than he's worth at this stage of his career, and now, the Jets can move forward with the squad that they've got as they chase success in the present and in the future.
