GMGM has to be nice because he has no alternative to trading over the next few years. With no pool of prospects he's going to make a dozen trades over the next couple years, I'd guess. Other than waivers, he's kinda at the mercy of the other GMs until he has a few years of draft picks.

He should make good picks instead of nice picks to avoid getting fired for picking g a godawful team.

But who am I kidding, even if he does pick a terrible team and get fired after a year or two he'll make it back again soon after for being such a nice gentleman.

Is there any penalty for GMs making moves that will gently caress the team several years down the line in today's NHL? Cap recapture penalties hand-waived away, mysterious illness/injury LTIR abuse, an expansion team that is willing to take on whatever crap your team has and/or ignore good young players from the exposed list in exchange for picks and bad players.

JUST PICK ONE. ANY ONE.

Bob Mackenzie says the Panthers have informed Rielly Smith and Jon Marchessault that they are going to Vegas.

I genuinely have no clue why the Panthers are doing this. They saw how bad their top-six depth was last year when Huberdeau was out forever, so why are they giving up two potential top-six forwards for nothing? The defense is a solid group of six but having all six rather than two top-six forwards is bad.

Is Tom Rowe still GM in Florida or is Dale Tallon running things again?

That doesn't explain why Florida would make a deal to give up both Marchessault and Reilly in the expansion draft.

Marchessault, Methot, Miller, Perron, Theodore, Pickard, Leipsic, Reilly and Lindberg were all good picks.

That said, GMGM made some super lovely picks as well.

He's got the cap space to outbid everyone on Karl Alzner, although he seems obsessed with the idea of getting a powerplay defenceman right now so probably gonna give Markov $6.25M.

Man I can't believe Matthews was nearly unanimous for the Calder. Laine deserved it basically as much.
