Truth: Zito >>>>> Bergevin > Lamoriello

I thought these were all regular season awards. The Islanders finished 12th and the Canadiens finished 18th. Did they display some sort of GM driven improvements through that? Feels like they were both pretty stagnant.

I forget, when does voting end? Has it already?
Guess what I'm aimlessly trying to ask is voters don't take into affect the playoffs?

I half expected Julien BriseBois to be among the three for his clever cap wizardry. Thankful the world is better than that.

Lmao that would've been funny.

Zito >>>>>>>>>>>>>> anyone else.

I think this goes to Zito, but the Habs playoff success may end up pushing it in his direction.

The one thing that sucks is an end-of-season blemish on Z's record by choosing to hold onto Judge and not dealing him at the trade deadline.
I know injuries are impossible to predict, but even in the playoffs when he was not injured he didn't show well. Not sure if there was a market for him, but it would have been nice to sell high on a pending UFA.

No idea how Zito doesn't win this thing. Took a group that is consistently swimming in the waters of mediocrity and brought them to a level the franchise has seen maybe once or twice before, all within less than a calendar year. It's not even close.

No idea why Bergevin was even nominated lol

Lol. That isn't a blemish. How much realistically would we have got back anyway for a pending goaltender.

At best, a minor quibble. And I don't think you can even call it that.

Didn't Toronto pay a 3rd for David Rittick, a pending UFA goalie?
Judge was one of the best goalies in the league in some people's eyes, surely he would have fetched more than that.

Toffoli, Perry, Frolik, Caufield callup. Eric Staal trade. Merill and Gustaffson trades.

Hell Tallon once won GM of the year too. Sometimes it comes together.

But also keep in mind these are regular season based, or supposed to be anyways.

Zito got 3rd so lol to that, but we we know what we have in Zito I literally wouldn’t trade him away for anyone after the year he just had. Super happy for him to continue this.

 

[StrangeVision]

Lame.

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Zito hasn't earned his stripes yet. Maybe he'll win it once he isn't considered as an inexperienced GM or otherwise "lucky".

Like many a rotating door of wingers zito’s success can largely be attributed to our god captain selke boy Barkov
