No, it's results-driven. We've been told so in this thread.

If were not evaluating a GM on results what are we evaluating him on then? Participation awards for all.

If you don't find Steve Dangle too annoying, this works:

It was realistic enough for Johnston to lay out the possibility on TV and for Gazzolla to lay out the same on Radio. We also know Holland made his pitch. If you want to debate as to whether it was realistic or not because you can read Hall's mind and know 100% Edmonton was a non-starter go ahead, it'll all be speculation on either side of the argument cause like I said before, we never really know. But there are things that we don't need to speculate on, things that actually happened. Things like Larsson walking. And things like the gaping hole that is left at LW and scoring depth that this team sorely needs.

If Hall wanted to come here he would be here. Don’t need to be able to read minds.

you know the goal of those people jobs is to create hits and views right? You mention Hall to Edmonton, with zero to back it up and it’s like throwing gas onto dry tinder and then hitting it with a blow torch. Then you have people posting about it non stops on message boards for weeks…

Nice gift the Kraken gave ESPN for their first NHL exposure releasing all the picks ahead of the airing.

Good job

Maybe Bettman can take their 1st rd away this year...lol

Sweeney hasn't won the Cup. Where are the results you keep talking about?

 

[TheNumber4]

Curse my high standards.

Way too high IMO. So what if a GM can't sign players that would fill much needed holes on this team. Good players just don't like Edmonton and that's the end of that story. Bye Bye McDavid.

You can say literally everything is out of Holland's control until it isn't. He signs a player at a great cap/term, assume it was all Holland and he did a great job. He tries to sign a player but fails, now assume that it wasn't under his control and therefore should be excused of any failings?

It's a results-oriented business. As fans, we can only speculate on things besides the actual results like player thoughts and feelings. So far the results are pretty simple to assess. Losing a solid top 4 D. Not signing needed talent and secondary scoring.

Agreed with the results-oriented business part but I'm genuinely fascinated by this mindset in the context of UFAs. In a similar vein, if I make my very best pitch to Margot Robbie regarding my clearly ideal suitability as her long time life partner and all around sex monkey and, inexplicably, she chooses a different option, is it your contention that I have failed? Is it your contention that the blame and responsibility for that particular outcome lies with me and me alone (or, if blame can be shared, that I am even *mostly* responsible)? That, if only I had tried harder or said the perfect thing or offered the perfect enticement, I could have overcome any objection and avoided "failure"? Or could it be that there's something - a lot, in fact - more to it and that there is another, living, breathing human participating in this negotiation, complete with her own motivations, needs, and wants that may or may not be open or vulnerable to my arguments, no matter how expertly crafted or presented? After all - it's results-oriented, right? Either we end up together together or we don't. If Ms. Robbie exercises her own free will over my attempts at persuasion, in your view I have "failed"? I'm genuinely curious...

 

[nabob]

What a crazy take. Are you sure you aren't just Holland hater? Must be, cause Holland hasn't made things happen and thus you must hate him.

29 GMs haven’t made things happen for two years now

They can't. Larsson signed with Seattle, which is their pick.
