I think trading for Copp was the only good thing he's done. That shouldnt overshadow the fact that he:
- Traded Buchnevich for Blais
- Signed Goodrow to that deal
- Traded a third for Reaves

Shesterkin bailed this team out this year. No way Chris Drury should be considered a top 3 NHL GM. I dont want to sound bias but Dubas has led the Leafs to the best regular season in franchise history, and these awards are based on the regular season. How about Bill Zito? Ridiculous

Seems more like a team award than a GM Award (3 of the 4 conference finals teams had GMs nominated)

Drury did not deserve a nomination at all

I mean either way he was more of a hinderance to this team than anything. Imagine if they had Buchnevich and didnt have Nemeth on the books...

Marc Bergevin was up for GM of the year last year… it’s pretty much a who’s team went far award

As much as I hate the Habs, I have to give Burger Van some credit. Allen acquisition was good. Toffoli was a game changer. Anderson for Domi worked out extremely well. Turning KK into Dvorak is a W, idc if Dvorak had a down year. He actually had a decent season

Also Edmundson for a fifth was a great deal for the Habs

As much as people dunk on Holland he actually had an alright season. Could he have done better? Oh yeah, a lot better. However, he couldve also done way worse. Id put him over Drury
