Donny has to win GM of the year
Love him or hate him and bitch about some of the picks but the fact is, 40% of the team is made of draft picks, and it’s around 30 30 for trades and free agency. Can you ask for a better breakdown? I would say that’s pretty good.
But he’s got to win not jsut because of the records the team has been braking, or even the trades he made at the deadline - which thus far seem to be stellar - but it’s also the kids he didn’t trade that should really be the cherry on top. Not giving up lorhei or lysell for chychrun was an excellent decision. Lysell has stalled a bit but he’s still excellent, lorhei seems like he’s going to make a similar jump to the NHL that McAvoy did, and Locmelis is climbing.
You’ve got the team, you’ve got the wins, you’ve got the adds, and you’ve got blue chippers that will surprise
I’m a big fan of the Don
