Sutter for me. Darryl traded one of his best assets for a bunch of castoffs without getting any significant futures in return. At least Gillis kept his picks and recognized the team needed to get younger when the team didn't look like contenders.

Has there ever been a GM who inherited a Stanley Cup contender? I never understood why anyone thought Gillis inherited a Cup contender. He inherited a team that missed the playoffs.
Ultimately, Gillis lacked vision. He thought he was adjusting to what it took to win in the NHL but what he was really doing was getting away from what made the team successful.
