The last time we switched GM's late in a season or right after the season was when Button was hired I think.
Button then proceeded to get rid of Giguere (protected Brathwaite in the expansion draft instead and dealt Giguere for a 2nd), Filip Kuba (protected Albelin over him), and dumped Martin St. Louis in the summer.
I'd be scared of exactly the same thing happening with a new GM who doesn't know what's in our system. He'll come in and get rid of some of the most promising guys.
