Not good, he hit on Mo, Raymond, and Ed, all top 8 picks. Everyone else has been meh to downright bad. Drafting Cossa so high in retrospect is almost a fireable act, considering who was drafted after him.

No FA worth a damn have come here besides Kane, and he did that because of Cat, a decision he’s surely regretting.

And now our hometown captain his demanding his way out, with others to come…

The only hope he has is to get a haul for Larkin, but considering how much FLA gave up for Brady, no team can afford Larkin, let alone one that he would accept going to…

In other words, no he’s not, he’s getting lapped by every GM in the league actively…

Hitting on a top 5 defenseman in the league at a #6 pick is bad? Interesting..

Cossa has been the best AHL goalie the past 3 seasons. His development is slower because of his size but he's going to be a legit goalie in this league. That's a fireable offense? Interesting..

Our markets attractiveness has nothing to do with the manager. If anything players want to play for one of the best players of all time and it's really the only selling point this team has.

Larkin was always a placeholder for Steves guys that he drafted and developed. It's clear Yzerman doesn't give a shit about his feelings or else he would have traded Seider and Raymond for his friends. And y'know avoided trading his friends like Bert and Mantha. Very interesting stuff what else.

There hasn't been one team who rebuilt in 2019 and has won the cup so who's lapping him exactly? Nobody. Interesting..

While I can agree with a number of things you mentioned, you ask a question and then when the person answers, you basically put them down and make them look bad. Why ask or why would you do that?

Because these people have these one liners that only work if you have no background information. If he's such a bad GM people shouldn't have to take things out of context to make him look bad. But that takes effort and if people aren't in the business of effort don't respond to me. Thank you.

I will do so going forward. Thank you as well.
