6 Cups

OK, we can probably all agree Bowman is not ideal.

Looking back at his moves for the Chicago 3 cups, honestly have a hard time finding that much that was impressive. Here is a couple of his trades:

Sep. 5, 2009
Chicago Blackhawks Acquire:
Logo of the Chicago Blackhawks
2011 2nd round pick (CGY - #43 - Brandon Saad)
2011 3rd round pick (TOR - #70 - Michael Paliotta)

Toronto Maple Leafs Acquire:
Logo of the Toronto Maple Leafs
2010 2nd round pick (TOR - #32 - Jared Knight)

Feb. 12, 2010
Chicago Blackhawks Acquire:
Logo of the Chicago Blackhawks
Nick Leddy
Kim Johnsson

Minnesota Wild Acquire:
Logo of the Minnesota Wild
Cam Barker

Lots of minor consequence shuffling around a solid core he inherited after that. He is very lucky that Tallon screwed up the RFA qualifying offers to get fired, which let Bowman swoop in and get credit for all the success Chicago eventually had.

The appeal of Bowman is that he was "a guy" that came into a team with a good core and won lots. He also went a similar way as Chia and Holland after the winning. It's another guy that gets to carry around a reputation for decades that was built on a short period of luck and inspiration. Please don't make this same GM gamble a third time Katz and friends.
