Bure was fun to have around but my vote goes to Risebrough.

Pretty sure that was McSorelys jersey ... I'll look around.
The Risebrough GM thing is funny ... I don't blame him for the Gilmour trade as much as shredding Nieuwendyk in an arbitration hearing. So many side stories to that one including adjoining rooms and Joe hearing Gilmour trash him while laughing.
But the trade was fishy ... pushed by McNamara and then months later McNamara quits and surfaces in Toronto.
Lesson was never deal with your former boss that soon ... he knows your roster too well.
