Anyone catch Lou say that Chris Lamoriello is one of the brightest hockey minds in the league? Seems like we may have a succession plan.
The alternative is no such award or doing it as a 3-5 year rolling award. In other words, the award is given every year, though not just for that years work but for a body of work over time. Seems much more sensible given what a GM does and what his mission is, or should be.What’s the alternative? GM of the decade? The best GMs are recognized by making the HOF for their career body of work. Are you advocating for best GM of 5 to 10 year blocks?
You could say that about the other individual awards too, how about we have player of the half decade, or coach of the half decade. Your argument is really quite silly and ridiculous. If you’re an Islander’s fan, enjoy it.The alternative is no such award or doing it as a 3-5 year rolling award.

What's silly and ridiculous is your inability to think creatively or at least consider an alternative. There is no other position in hockey like the GMs position where moves made today may not, and usually don't, have an immediate impact. Players and coaches do what they do in a given season and can be judged as such. And at the very least, this award should wait until after the playoffs to see if deadline moves have the impact intended where they matter most; in the playoffs.You could say that about the other individual awards too, how about we have player of the half decade, or coach of the half decade.

Don Sweeney I believe, Congrats Lou on a job well done!Who won last year?
Chris L is a putz and has zero business being the GM of any team (that wants to win).
How is Tampa’s GM second? He has a stacked team. What did he do that was so impressive?
What are you basing this statement on?Literally the only thing that concerns me about the direction of this team is that part of the agreement to get Lou to come here was him negotiating his son taking over when he's gone. Chris L is a putz and has zero business being the GM of any team (that wants to win). It would be like the Bulls drafting Michael Jordan's son expecting anywhere the same level of success.
Good on ya Lou! Keep up the good work!
This year may not be the year they win it all, but with some savvy moves, next year just might!
Yeah, this is underrated and often not even mentioned as a "move" by Lou. But most of this board wanted Nelson gone. That would have been ... not so good.Maintaining the ol' core of Bailey, Nelson, Lee seems to have been a shrewd move. Bails and Nelson have elevated their game since being extended
