Is Steve Yzerman an above average GM?

[Love]

After the Compher signing and many other similarly confusing contracts given out, I’m curious how he’s viewed around here.

19M spent on Compher, Copp, Chiarot and Holl.

Poor man is washed.

I don't understand if you are saying you are a rebuilding team then why make these long term commitments?

 

[Three On Zero]

not fair to judge until we see the on ice product

 

[Ace]

If average is Dubas then yes

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

His July 1st has been awful so far... I'm still shocked at the deals he's handing out

[Bleedred]

Not really, no.

He lives off his reputation from Tampa,

These last two years have been filled with a lot of really stupid deals.

It's almost like he's trying to finish with 80-85 points, or he thinks this isenough to slowly get them over the playoff line, despite a highly mediocre roster and contracts to a bunch of guys they shouldn't be signing.

This reminds me of the shit Lou was doing at the end of his time with the Devils.

The Yzerplan is a fraud.

 

[Malkinstheman]

I thought he was a wizard in Tampa but his time in Detroit has been kinda head scratching

 

[SpezDispenser]

Horrific day for Yzerplan

 

[Troy McClure]

I voted no. He’s not good enough to earn a vote for average.

 

[DJB]

He’s awful with free agents

 

[FlameChampion]

His bad decisions keep piling up.

 

[dirtydanglez]

too many people give him credit for brisebois work.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Very good drafting, average in every other area, which means he’s above average.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

With alot of cap space open, He had a very rare opportunity to do extremely well today either with UFAs or big trades but I feel he really failed.

Some teams are dying to trade guys to make cap room and he coulda acquired some guys for cheaper than normal

 

[super6646]

The glare has definitely worn off a bit since he’s come to Detroit. Some questionable ufa signings to say the least

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

I thought he was a bit overrated early on in his tenure at Tampa Bay.

He's good at drafting but these UFA signings are not good at all. Copp and Compher at 5 million plus, long term? Holl and Chariot long term?

 

[Realgud]

Having 8 million tied to Holl and Chiarot for 3 more years is just... wow.

 

[ccman68]

he is a good gm but if you don’t get lucky in the lottery or with late picks you are gonna be f***ed. guessing ownership is wanting them to make the playoffs now so he is just throwing money at anyone he can get.

 

[CherryToke]

Jumped the shark in Tampa

 

[Albatros]

19M spent on Compher, Copp, Chiarot and Holl.

 

[VanillaCoke]

He was until today

 

[Big Ed]

Everyone get out your hottest takes as quickly as possible. Don't bother thinking first.
