Well deserved. He hit on every transaction for the entire last year and if the visible changes to the org (coaching overhaul in the AHL and NHL) are any indication the entire org is getting a huge lift.
We literally needed a GM of the year, coach of the year, vezina and norris calibre seasons to get from where we were last season to a viable contender this season and it feels amazing that we won the lottery to get it all. Good management is rarer and worth more than a draft lottery win.
He needs to hit it out of the park again this summer and next season if we want this to be an ongoing thing but feels amazing to head into free agency interested and excited to see what happens unlike every year under Benning where we already knew what was going to happen and had already spent months discussing how bad we knew it was going to be
