Not trying to knock your beliefs here, but if this is truly what you believe, you're going to really hate Lou being GM. At least based on his past history as a GM, because that has never been how he operates.
Oh I get it. wang and snow were the polar opposite to my beliefs so I'm used to being incredibly disappointed. That said at least Lou is a legit NHL executive. Do I trust him 100% as GM? Absolutely not. I've disagreed with a lot of his moves going back to the Devils, and don't like the fact he's in his 70's now.
I also HATE that it seems his son Chris is on track to be the next GM (and I also wonder if that wasn't promised to him by Malkin as part of the pitch to get him here).
That said, do I trust Lou 10000% more than snow? Yes, yes, yes I do. We NEVER had a shot at winning a Cup under wang/snow, and anyone who thinks that isn't the case has been ******bating via their keyboard since 2000. Do I wish Lou was just the president of the team working on changing the culture and hired another GM (NOT his son) to run the team? Absolutely.
The person I trust the most in the entire organization is Trotz. For years I thought he was the best coach in the league. Not saying that means he should be GM, but I sure hope Lou goes to him first before making any moves.
