One guy - any one guy, the GM, the head scout, whoever - is NOT personally responsible for all of the picks made by the team he was with for the entire tenure of his time with that team.
No GM in the NHL goes out and personally scouts all the 3rd, 4th, 5th round picks himself.
I would think that the GM would usually have a great deal of input with respect to 1st round picks. After that, not so much.
