Good morning gentlemen.

In would like to thank you all for putting up with my blabber last night. I fully recognize and understand that this site is not the place for it. My apologies.

How about Vrana last night!!! 4G game. All at even strength. The only guy happier than Vrana last night had to be Steve Yzerman. You can argue that the trade would've been fair even if Mantha and Vrana were traded straight up with no extra picks thrown in.

Have you ever noticed how much AHL Sean Bergenheim looks like Dzingel?

Yzerman is the best GM in the league IMO

oh by far. My aspiration is to eventually become a General Manager, or at least something in the front office (because I'm not good enough to play lmao).

I'd try to model myself after Yzerman.

I manage my fantasy team based on how I think Yzerman would haha. He's the best.

Both have been found money though. Especially Robertson. He's probably been my most consistent Winger in the last month or so. Even more so than Marner (last night excluded, lol)

And Jim Benning is your best bet if you want to have a bottom 6 made up of players all payed over 3 million dollars.

Lou Lamoriello is also a good option if you need a team as old as the sun itself

Guess I'll be that guy, Sakic inherited a very good core already in Colorado. He just had to add complimentary players and has done a very good job at that.

Yzerman built Tampa into what they are now and has looked very good early in Detroit.

Yzerman>Sakic easily

I looked it up, and Sakic inherited the job in 2013.
He's been responsible for adding Kadri, Grubauer, Burakovsky, Toews, Girard and drafted Makar, Mackinnon (it was first overall, but still), Byram (he got that pick through an absolute steal) just to name a few.
Who did he inherit besides Landy and Johnson that's still on the team?

Don't get me wrong, Yzerman has been excellent as well, but I fail to see how Sakic inherited his core, and Yzerman built his.

He might mean that the Avs had a decent team already with ROR, Duchene, Landeskog, Stastny, Johnson, Varlamov and more to begin with but then Detroit also had some decent names when Yzerman took over

I mean, they finished last the year before Sakic was brought in.
