There’s way more to being a GM than drafting though.

For sure. Also way more to building a team than only the GM.

100% agree


A smart man surrounds himself with smart people

That would imply the owner was putting a priority on rebuild? What about all the arguments about winning now, greed and playoffs aspirations these last few years? I don't disagree though... seems it was the only thing JB had going for him when he was hired.

I agree on JB's strength being mostly drafting... and not a guru either... if he didn't pull Boeser out of the late 1st round... and show us quality in the 5th with Gaudette/Tryamkin... I'd be extremely sour on the JV and OJ picks at this point. Jim's holding his own and I'm pretty happy we are not dealing with Nonis and Gillis' drafting skills(since we are solely putting drafting on the gm).

Disagree, you draft every year whether you finish last or win the Stanley Cup. It's even more important for a winning club because you don't have access to the best draft positions.

Maybe we should trade down

An option that should ALWAYS be explored & as back-up plans. Doesn’t mean it happens but wise to have options.

Yes & he has done ok at that.
Has TL done the same? Not IMO
Did FA for that matter? Questionable

Resign JB 3yrs
Fire TL & hire Lombardi
Tell FA to eff off or sell the team.
I like TG & Cull & Johnson
Brackett is a bigtime keeper

Stan & a few others can take a hike

Thats a Lefty thought. Im actually up for that if Van gets 6oa.

Farm team's success isn't based off of making the playoffs, it's in producing players and our hasn't done that since the moose were around.

I thought a winning environment was crucial in developing top tier NHL players.

Not if the owner and president tie your hands behind your back and make those decisions for themselves...thus hanging said gm out to dry as a scapegoat.

I usually would be against it but this year there is a lot of interesting Dman that I think it could pay off if you can get and 2nd.

i hope we resign EG , 4mil over 6yrs no biggie He brings intangibles that fancy stats cannot quantify , and is a leader and IMO has upside to him that hasn't been brought out yet.

Nucks 5-3 over the hawks

Most, not all, top tier nhlers were picked by the poopiest teams in the league so that's not true, but it's a great clichè

When will we see that upside? Is there a secret code Green has to press on his xbox controller?

The dude fails the eye test and the analytical tests. 6 years is 6 years too many. Id rather a 2nd round pick and Holm than gudbranson at Holms aav.
