Both were brutal. Garth had more stable owners and Milbury probably would not have minded a couple of years of Malkin being owner. Garth rubbed me the wrong way more than Milbury. - ses111
I agree Ses, I think Milbury had no money to work with. Especially in comparison to the last four years that Garth has had. I don’t think Milbury was great but I think Garth was worse.

I vote for Milbury as slightly worse. It's ok to lose a trade, but Milbury lost nearly EVERY trade. |

Milbury had no money during the first 5 years. But Wang opened his wallet and told him to spend. So he spent $90 million on Alexei Yashin........and traded Chara, the 2nd overall pick (Spezza) and Bill Mukalt for the privilege. |

Debateable. They are both complete opposites but equally as bad in their own right IMO. - Cptmjl
As bad as Snow was, Milbury was 10 times worse. Milbury’s track record on trades alone makes him a bottom 3 GM of all time. Snow May have failed at a lot of things but he had a better track record drafting and making deals when he actually did.
That’s being said, simply because Snow was better than Milbury does not mean that he was a good GM. He was just a less smelly turd than Milbury was. |

Milbury had to dump players to shed salary that Garth did not have to do. I hate to make it seem I'm making excuses for Milbury but he had it worse than Garth. Milbury had owners working against him while it was mostly Garth sinking himself. |

Argh! I hate this debate! Would you rather be burned alive or fall off a cliff on to jagged rocks?
They were both (frank)ing horrible! Who cares which was worse. |

Bringing in Aucoin - B.D. Gallof
Was he a free agent? Or did Milbury trade for him? I agree that Aucoin was a good pick up. |

Let's end this debate and back to chatting about how Lou will fix this team. |

It's the Red Wing fan's fault. Just for that, I hope the Red Wings continue to stink. |

I’ll never forget, Ziggy was due a new contract and I believe the Islanders Payroll was ~22 million at the time and the owners wanted him to cut the payroll under 20 million. |

Sadly I remember this well. Hopefully these things are all the past now. |

I’m going to say seeing L and M come through with the rights to Belmont, bringing in Lou L and today firing Snow. I think this franchise is on the road to success and with that will come profitability |
