Milbury originally offered Dipietro the 15yr deal in 2005 but the league discouraged it. The deal was offically signed in 2006 while Milbury was Senior Vice President of Charles Wang's sports holdings, Garth Snow was the GM but had little if anything to do with that contract.




However, Milbury has also been criticized for the many decisions he made in which payroll or orders for upper management were not factors. Many young players and prospects that Milbury traded away went on to have distinguished careers, often eclipsing those of the players he received in return. He has traded away defensemen Zdeno Chara, Wade Redden, Bryan Berard, Eric Brewer, Darius Kasparaitis, and Bryan McCabe; goaltenders Roberto Luongo and Tommy Salo, as well as forwards Olli Jokinen, Todd Bertuzzi, Tim Connolly, and Raffi Torres. Milbury has also come under fire for his draft day decisions such as choosing Rick DiPietro first overall in 2000 over Dany Heatley and Marian Gaborik; as well as his decision to include the 2001 second overall draft pick (Jason Spezza) as part of the Alexei Yashin trade.

Milbury is the worst GM in history.

Milbury also traded Dumont with a 5th rounder to the Hawks for Dmitri Nabokov

I completely went blank while trying to take it. I feel stupid now looking at some of the names. The only one for Carolina I could remember was Staal. The only captain that I didn't know was Colorado. I couldn't think of who it was in Florida, but that's because they don't have one. That was a trick question.

McCormick and Grags only had 1 more shift. I'm gonna say Lindy didn't like what he saw and parked them on the bench.
- HonkFortheGoose

sadly the team played somewhat better but overall that was still a terrible game, luckily (or imo unluckily) miller kept them in it and NJ didn't play the greatest.

88, and I would have gotten that bum Thorburn if I didnt type Thornburn. I like getting the most missed question, but alas it wasn't to be.

88 is about as good as I could do, I don't think I would have gotten some of those remaining ones regardless of the time remaining.
