Threads like these make me laugh. 2 months ago people were bashing on him calling him one of the worst GMs in the league.
John Davidson & Jarmo Kekalainen are responsible for this team: they have gotten dumped on they now get the credit. Adding Saad, drafting Wennberg, Werenski, Anderson, Nuttivaara, trading for Hartnell, getting Bill Karlsson for Wiznewski, Sedlak, Bjorskstrand but the biggest thing of all:
Trading Ryan Johansen for Seth Jones: our defense
Werenski Jones
Johnson Savard
Nuttivaara Murray
Prout Harrington Heatherington Carlsson Gavrikov Vainio, Kukan
Sorry one more thing: major kudos for being the GM to identify and coax Sammy Gagner into playing 1 year for 650K. Obviously no one including Jarmo could have foreseen just how good of a move this would be, but obviously he is the one to get it done. Sam Gagner has quickly turned into a fan favorite, making us wonder what the **** was wrong with FO in Edmonton and Philly. just kidding of course?
We have a seriously young talented Dcore.. & we are loving it!!
