Player Discussion Linus Ullmark (G)

[JSSSTP]

One of the worst GMs of all time.

Top 3 easy.

I understand that he was definitely shit for us despite a few lucky home runs, but is he actually in that conversation? Honest question, I don’t know much about the history of GMs.

We struck gold by paying Ullmark 8 mil to not play for Bos, and 1mil for Korpisalo to take Boston down from the inside, masterful chess move to destroy a division rival

Korpisalo is 9 and 6, so he is winning more games than he is losing. Not taking down Boston from the inside so far.
Korpi has the same save percentage and goals against as Forsberg. Forsberg is 8 and 10 and they are both backup goalies.

yes.

not only did he suck at evaluating hockey, no one respected him or took him seriously.

I don't think he was actually in the running for worst GM of all time, it's just that he lasted a long time while being bad. Most GMs worse than him would have gotten fired much quicker so you have a laundry list of bad moves for him while worse GMs are less memorable.

Now, he may be up there for most damage done, though the few home runs he did hit offsets that a bit, even if you want to attribute them to luck.

I think the timing of the ownership change kept in along a few extra years. He wasn’t able to get another job in hockey operations, he’s working in media now.
