Cool. Grats Cats fans.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Well deserved, he's a top three nhl exec.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Best in the business.

 

[leafsfan5]

arguably the best GM in the game right now

 

[Peasy]

Well deserved. Constantly finding unwanted gems.

 

[Three On Zero]

One of the best GM's in the league, well deserved

 

[Sticksandsun]

He has made the Florida Panthers a powerhouse. Do you know how hard it was to do that lol? We are incredibly fortunate.

 

[Viqsi]

Well, there goes that fantasy scenario for the Jackets.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Great manager, definitely among the best in the league right now. Good for him.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Makes sense, he’s earned it

Since I become a fan of hockey, he turned the panthers from a mediocre team to a top team in the league

Incredibly, Zito has never won the GM of the year award.

They kept giving it to Lou for whatever reason, and then more recently Sakic and Nill.

Just an amazing GM. Him and the owners finally being hands off saved this franchise.

 

[ShootIt]

Glad they locked him up long term and gave him a promotion too.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Heard his first move is going to be to extend Nick Cousins.

 

[Chaos2k7]

All hail the Grand Poobah!

 

[Theodore450]

Best gm in the game

 

[PunchImlach is Alive]

Did they photoshop his face on someone else's head?

 

[Satoru Gojo]

Insanely good GM

 

[Panteras]

My favorite part of this thread is hockey virus laughing at every post that claims he’s a great GM. It warms my soul.

He is no Dubas for sure.

 

[Curufinwe]

The Flyers picked Fletcher over him

 

[Dread Clawz]

Props to President Matt Caldwell too for targeting him and deciding he was the guy to lead the Panthers. That 2020 off season was crucial for the Panthers. If we screwed that up, we could be the Coyotes right now.

To see what he has done for Florida from their troubled status in the past and then cast a glance at Buffalo, Sens, Blue Jackets, Wild, etc. is a real testament to his ability and the others' lack of competence on the front office front; well deserved.
