I don’t know why some fans find it so hard to accept that the maximum amount they can possibly know will always be less than the minimum amount a GM can know. Doesn’t mean the GM doesn’t make bad decisions, but when you only have access to a fraction of the information, you should expect not to understand some things.

I find it disengeneous to assume that “fans” don’t know as much as “people in hockey” there’s only so much analysis you need to do to know a coaches system and many of us can see it enough to make relatively educated opinions.
All the game film is out there. You can’t tell me that a gm knows more because he knows who had the runs before the game and who didn’t. And that’s why someone played better than someone else.
