I'd take Chayka. Tallon has made some BAD moves, where as Chayka is pretty clean on paper at least

I'll go with the guy who laid the foundations for a modern Cup dynasty (or as close as you can get to it) and made a few mistakes along the way, over the guy who has moneypucked his way into an absolutely garbage team that doesn't win anything, and an organization rife with instability and discontent.

lol chayka should be in the convo for worst gm in the nhl, i don't understand why everyone thinks he is so good. Although he does have a pretty wife.

Has to be Tallon. He has build up young promising team with really healthy prospect pool and he has hired Gallant and Boughner. Solid at drafting except i hated Crouse pick.

Tallon's last offseason was one of the worst I've ever seen from a GM. Gifted Vegas 2/3rds of one of the best lines in hockey. Doesn't matter that their stars are hot right now and they're on the way to the playoffs while Arizona aren't. GM rankings aren't totally predicated on whose team is better.

It was bad offseason but he had few solid pick ups. Signed Dadonov and hired Boughner who is really good coach. He had pressure from ownership to cut salary down. It was difficult offseason for sure.

We're talking a young GM without any accomplishments versus a guy who was one of the key architects of the Blackhawks' Cup teams. Tallon had a dreadful expansion draft, but I don't think that's enough to tear down the rest of his achievements.

Until Billy Beane Jr. gets some actual sustained success on the ice, this is easily Tallon.

 

[Josepho]

How much did Tallon do to build up the Hawks aside from draft high?

 

[Dabeast]

Tallon was good, not so much anymore.

Chayka is also dealing with a severely low budget team.

The team has a 59m caphit right now and that is with 10m worth of players who don't play for the team.
