First off, congrats on the Stanley Cup. Your team won a cup under the most extreme circumstances in modern day history, and they did it without their franchise player, and against a series of opponents who were pretty much completely healthy, all while loosing your home ice advantage in 3 out of 4 series.
I'm just curious, from a GM standpoint, who do you give the most credit to?
Personally I think its tricky. Yzerman obviously created the foundation of this team minus Stamkos/Hedman (though Stamkos wasnt a factor to be fair), however, during Yzerman's tenure, he couldnt close the deal. BriseBois was able to put the finishing touches on a team that actually took them to the promise land so to speak. As a Wings fan it reminds me of what Bowman was able to do, its one thing to lay groundwork, its another to finish. Also, its a lot easier to finish a job that already 80% done.
I'm very interested in the debate. Again, congrats.
