2018 NHL GM Rankings #6

[M2Beezy]

Well that went south quickly. Cant control these things and sometimes the fanbase of teams group together to get their guy in. Pathetic really. Amazing how a GM who had all the highest of expectations last year and failed to even qualify to make the playoffs goes top 5. Wow anyways hopefully this goes better. 6 is NEXT with Maclellan and Mcphee slated to go next

Went South about as quickly as the leafs winning 7th in your cup contender poll?

As if St Louis has enough fans here to band together and influence the vote

How bout you just remove your own bias from the poll, and let the numbers settle themselves?

 

[The Note]

Yet another poll ruined by the MASSIVE Blues contingent on here. Give me a f***ing break. Maclellan again here (who I voted for last poll, as a Blues fan.)

 

[tony d]

George Mcphee for me.

 

[LordNeverLose]

Shocked I'm the only Shero vote

 

[dirtydantheflyersman]

Hextall baby

 

[third man in]

I'll take the guy that managed the Caps to their first cup over the guy that didn't.

Just let him get it out his system. Children need to have an outlet for their pent up frustrations. Better this than him acting out during his recess at school after all.

 

[BlueDream]

Lmao he's so mad. In the last poll he said "looks like it'll be a battle between MacLellan and McPhee" and I was just cracking up waiting to see his reaction that neither of them won.

It's not just own fans. That's the mindset of judgement with people here on gms. It's not a shift, Jim Nill in that same scenario was 4th last year.

It's a site about potential afterall

Lol @ mcphee with the most votes.

He's a terrible GM, regardless of what LV accomplished this season. Are people forgetting Martin Erat for Filip Forsberg? That should be enough to take him out of contention and place him with chiarelli/bergvin rather than top 10.

Not sure if a move someone makes in 2013 should dock them in 2018.

Tatar

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Tatar

Tatar deal was a massive overpay for what he did last season, but he was very good before last season and could bounce back.

[CanadianSniper]

Sexy Hexy because they aren't Maclellan or Mcphee.

Lol? if someone cheats in 2013, is it fair to assume they wont do the same in 2018?

McPhee has done nothing to prove he's a good GM. Don't give me the speech on how he took his team to the SC Final. That Tatar trade was hilarious in itself, and if the suppossed rumours are true about trading all those assets at trade deadline for karlsson is true... then idk what to say.

That's what is funny to me of this type of hockey fan culture. The winning and losing of notable trade moves carry more weight than the actual goal of being a gm.

Its silly even Kessels deal out of Boston sometimes got questioned as who came out better despite Boston having won the cup and got to another... and with those pieces brought back.

That winning is just judged as low likely than trade results is how you get Jim Nill and Armstrong as considered top 5 gms despite acconploahing nothing and making signing and decisions constantly limiting their chances.

I would be loving of a poll of something trying to get a, how do you rank a gm by questionaire out. What degree does success, trade wins, cheap re-signing of players, coachhires, drafting, etc. Is considered by people.

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

Chiarelli just to see what you’d do.

 

[RememberTheName]

Uhh how has Shero only getting two votes here. The guy who traded a 2nd pair defenseman for the Hart trophy winner. The guy who traded a 2nd and a 3rd for Palmieri. The guy who traded two 2nds for Johansson. The guy who transformed a team with the bleakest future in the league into one of the brightest in two freaking years. The guy who signed Will Butcher. The guy who brought us into the playoffs 3-4 years before anyone expected we would even be out of the bottom 10. I’m not saying he should definitely go right now. But come on, he should be doing better than this

I couldn't disagree with you more. There are just trades that are plain stupid and are recognized as stupid the minute they occur. For example, Subban for Weber, Seguin for Eriksson, Erat for Forsberg. These trades were laughed at the day they occured. If we look at signings, they're also very similiar.

Your opinion however is only applicable to trades that at first may have look even, but became lopsided very fast. In which case it is essentially very hard to blame the GM.

 

[Baxterman]

Out of curiosity what were the key roster moves by McClellan that turned the Capitals into Cup contenders this year?

I mean I think guys should be given credit for winning a Cup but if another GM did the vast majority of the work then I think it is fair to question how much the guy that was GM at the time of the win actually did?

Now I may be missing some rosters moves but it looks like very minor moves and Trotz is about all McClellan has, but maybe that is enough.

Why do you even make these poll series if you're going to blow your top and shit on everyone the moment you disagree with a result? Like you can't even consider the possibility you might be wrong? Like Jesus just make your own damn list if you're this fragile.

Oh I know that's the case. It's a mountain of evidence to support it. And I've literally seen someone say they rate the GM by asset management. Basically player movement > winning.
