I became the Blackhawks GM on day 149 of the 166 day season.
I would suggest that like a prospect that plays less than 26 games is still eligible for the Calder the following year, that I defer my nomination for the coveted Sutter award until next year when I may have more of an influence on my team.
If I should remain in contention for the award my short list of accomplishments as Hawks' GM:
- Maintain & clinch a playoff spot
- Add significant depth (Savard, Stempniak, Dwyer) for the playoff run
- Win the Quarterfinal round against a very good Calgary Flames team
- Take CPHL finalist Anaheim to the limit despite injuries to two defensemen
