If the gist was that the team is not in a better position today than it was four years ago, I strongly disagree.
Further which GM could you unquestionably say is a 'solid success'. You could take a snap shot in time and build a case that any GM has failed.
George McPhee: genius today for building the knights, buffoon for trading Filip Forsberg for Martin Erat.
Ken Holland: built a powerhouse team for over a decade and a half, the moron who signed Stephen Wiese.
Don Sweeney: today he's GM of a cup favorite, has the hockey world mystified at the 2015 draft 'what is going on in Boston?'
Joe Sakic: looking like a genius after the Matt Duschene trade, a year ago? Completely incompetent.
Again, find me a GM without a few blemishes on his record.
