but... I don't wanna take this poll.
|
Jeff Jackson is my vote. I don't recall a time in the last 10-15 years where so much of the fanbase almost unanimously loved almost everything our GM has done the way we almost all of us did with JJ's month or so making the moves.
Scandal aside, I see Bowman as decidedly mediocre. No better than Holland. I admittedly didn't go through his cap management and trade history with a fine tooth comb, but IMO he won on the back of a team mostly assembled by Tallon. 
|
Knowing how to make trades and building a team with a long term view is a different skillset than JJ put on display though. He loaded up on UFA's, some at bargains for sure, with no regard for the cap. And he traded McLeod, who is actually a pretty useful player, for a good prospect to the most desperate team in the NHL to just make a wildcard spot, with one of the lamest GMs.
We need some very very good trades pulled off to keep the McDrai era in a state of contending for cups for the next 4-5 years. 5 years of weak drafting creates even more of a handicap for our GM. Not sure I would trust JJ to pull that off. JJ is trusting Stan Bowman to do it, and I have a hard time with that too.
|
It might be a different skillset, but I liked almost everything he did so far. From appointing Knoblauch to getting all of Janmark, Brown, Henrique, and Jeff Skinner inked for less than $9M combined.
I like some of McLeod's skills, but one of the most frustratingly soft players I've ever seen. So whatever.
