Paneerboy and
Zemgus26. Paneerboy was able to take a aging Bruins team some new life by bringing in some new young blood with players like Shea Theodore, Alex Tuch, Mikael Granlund, Logan Brown and others. Zemgus26 came in late but took a Devils team which lacked depth at almost every position and filled some of their most glaring holes. With additions like Michael Del Zotto, Alexei Emelin and Lubomir Visnovsky the Islanders defense is now set. He then brought in Kyle Turris,Brad Boyes and Milan Michalek to help round out the top 9. Thanks to the work of these two rookie GMs both franchises are on their way back to success and the league is happy to honor them for it.

The Produce Trophy
In honor of former GM this trophy goes to the one GM who improved his team dramatically from the start of the game to the end. Taking a team like the Buffalo Sabres usually means a GM is retooling but
Weylspin decided to go all in and he greatly improved the Sabres. He was able to bring in studs like Logan Couture, Zach Bogosian, Alex Edler and the Sedin brothers to improve the team's offense and defense. To top it off he was able to bring in a elite goalie in Tuukka Rask. Thanks to Wey's moves the Sabres made it back to the playoffs for the first time since 2011.
