Frank Seravalli " Worst GM Award , Jarmo Kekalainen, Mike Grier a close 2nd" Agree or disagree?

[brentashton]

Cant say it’s close, not even remotely close.

Jarmo wins this award running away. He has been shitty for 10 years and continues with this year‘s demonstration. seriously don’t know after the Babcock thing he even has a job. Grier on the other hand just stepped into an already existing shit pile.

Ask this question in 10 years.

That's another thing about the Jiricek stuff.

Jarmo doesn't care about about what happens with Jiricek because he won't be working there after this year.

I honestly think he could go any day now. Possibly right after the deadline or between now and the deadline, or at season's end.

Pretty safe money that he won't be GM of this team heading into the offseason.

Man, I'd hate to see what Babcock would've done to Jiricek if he had complained about being sent down while Babs there. Honestly, a reformed Babs would've been good to bring structure to a Columbus team that has so much youth. But instead he decided to do his usual mind games. Probably needs buy-in from influential vets as well, and Laine and Gaudreau aren't it.

How are people sleeping on Garth Snow here?

Any takers for Tambellini?

 

[Zarzh]

That’s a pretty wild take. Colorado would be one of the last teams on my list.

I don't see why they shouldn't be. Going into the playoffs with Colton/Johansen should be heavily criticized, and it's hard for them to make a move now.

 

[bleedgreen]

Grier doesn’t make any sense. He inherited a team many would have no interest trying to tear down. He’s already moved Karlsson and Burns, with minimal retention on Karlsson? That’s slow clap territory not gong show.

How in God's name could ANYONE think there's ever been a worse GM than Ed Johnston? The man LITERALLY killed a team with his idiocy.

 

[John Mandalorian]

Not sure why Grier is there

It just might have something to do with information sharing, One thing is true, Hughes will probably never be in Seravelli’s two worst GMs because Hughes talks to the media - A LOT.

Grier needs to play ball if he wants this public shaming to stop.

 

[sabremike]

Unqualified dipshit Kevyn Adams deserves way more consideration for this "honor".

 

[pman25]

Grier has made some pretty pointless trades (wtf was the Eyssimont trade about?) but nothing yet that would qualify him as worst GM

 

[KPower]

Grier? Wtf?

The worst is easily Dubas.

Once he left Toronto people surprisingly stopped hating on him.

 

[Gecklund]

Seravalli notably hates the Sharks because he has garbage sources there. I don’t think he’s ever called something right about them. From the Patches trade years ago to Labanc being waived last year, Seravalli sucks

 

[I am toxic]

Frank "Canucks fans owe Jim Benning an apology, and Dube's leave is unrelated to the gang rape case" Seravalli's takes are beyond pathetic. A broken clock is correct more often, yet both are equally valueless. At least a broken clock is not an effin apologist for scumbaggery.

I was about to post that right now

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Grier shouldn’t be in the mix based on the Meier trade alone. That was an excellent deal for the Sharks.

Seravalli believes the Canes offer was better but Grier went with trading with a business relationship instead.

 

[LuGBuG]

If I could vote for worst insider Servalli would be top 3 as well.

Couldn’t care less what that silver sloth has to say.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

I blame the Canadian media for picking on GMs of American-based teams.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

If I could vote for worst insider Servalli would be top 3 as well.

He has my vote as well

thats 2 for him and 0 for everyone else

Might be a California thing, he doesn't seem to have a clue when it comes to Anaheim either. Or maybe he just sucks

 

[LuGBuG]

This dude became relevant by spoiling every pick for the Seattle expansion draft. I can pretty much guarantee legit insiders like Friedman and others had all those picks as well but held them close as the NHL requested it. Then this peckerhead wanted his 5 minutes of fame.

 

[Deadpool8812]

Isn't this known was the Chuck Fletcher Award?

 

[Rabid Ranger]

There's a lot of bad GMs. Take your pick.

 

[crowi]

Jarmo should've been fired a few years ago. I don't like that he is basically making it harder for Europeans to get NHL management jobs. It's pretty hard as it is and this guy is a wreck.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Is Serverali drifting into opinion journalism now? Stick to reporting, old man.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Jarmo for sure takes number one. But a case for second could be made for many: Blake, MacFarland, Treliving, Adams, Holland, Armstrong, etc.
