Sather inherited a bare cupboard from Neil Smith. The nature of the business is you got a job because someone screwed up... You're going to start in a poor spot.
This discussion should be about results. Snow has built a possible contender with great drafting, and bonus points to him for getting the team here despite a bad building, not knowing where they will play down the road and a lower budget.
Lou had success but has drafted poorly and lost his biggest stars. Some his fault, some not. Team looks like it is on the brink of ruins though.
Glen has his flaws. Some terrible FA signings. Terrible management of 1st round picks. But 1 missed post season in the "designed for parity" cap era. No such thing as a fluke finals run so stop with that. Parade the bigger budget excuse around if you want but he doesn't get sympathy for a higher taxed NY metro area and expectation of bigger contracts for signing in NYC.
Again, if this is a results debate Sather wins. Doesn't mean the others suck or screwed up. Take a snippet from the previous 10 years and Lou stomps Glen every year. Do this again in 5 years and snow may have a cup or two.
