Salary Cap: Chris MacFarland - Record as Avalanche GM (Updates In First Post)

[The Merchant]

The Avs missed the boat on the big fish of the last couple seasons. There's just not much out there to get excited about, outside of a simple shake-up and pray kind of situation...unless you're willing to sell your soul for Joel.

He’s by far the worst GM in this teams history. And easily one of the worst GM’s in the league.

Do you see how other teams are run? Do you pay attention to some of the things they do? I would still take Mac/Sakic combo over half of them even with the run of less than great outcome moves. This year its hard to be unhappy with the moves so far Blackwood, Necas and Drury seem like good players goiing forward and making the best of the Rantanen situation. Wedgewood was a good depth play, and Pars is far from a settled conclusion. Most people were relatively happy with the attempt at shoring up 2C with Mittelstadt last year it just hasnt played out well but you can always be right with hindsight. The depth moves of Duhaine and Trenin werent bad. The wood signing and colton move started off decent but have soured. The Ryjo and Georgiev situations were the only awful ones i can think of and those were remedied to the extent they could at the time. The Kadri/Johnson situation wasnt ideal but more than a few thought Newhook might be able to meet the moment and when he couldnt that was addressed to shipping him out. The primary issues have been the landy/nuke situations which would be tough on any GM and Bednars coaching. I am no Cmac apologist but he hasnt sat on his hands when looking for solutions.
