Holmgren – If you’re going to include him in the conversation, you can’t discount him for being the general manager of a hockey team. His moves were the impetus for one of the most drastic turnarounds in league history.
2. Reid/Heckert – They get blasted for a lot of moves they’ve made…but most have been right on the money. They’ve let aging veterans walk when contract demands were too high. None have come back to bite us. They’ve also kept all of the core players on the roster and have been competitive year in and year out.
3. Stefanski – His moves since coming to town have been stellar. He obviously has a much better command of the cap than Billy King could have ever imagined. However, I ranked him at three taking his Nets track record into account…which wasn’t bad, just not phenominal.
4. Gillick – Don’t get me wrong, I like what he’s done for the most part this year. But….Adam Eaton, Freddy Garcia, Rod Barajas, Wes Helms, So Taguchi, etc. More could have been done this year as well.
