Pretty easy to win almost every trade when the ones that do not look like wins are because the guys you traded for suck and that is not on you as a GM. If they do not suck, that is because you made a good trade. If they do suck (Lazar, Elliott, Shinkaruk) that is on the player. When the 1st is 10 picks higher than it "should" have been, that is also on the players. Not because the GM made a mistake, the players let him down.
With that as the objective criteria for all 31 GM's, I would give every GM in the NHL a 5 myself.
Hard to say that Washington lost the Glencross trade, it was probably an underpayment by Washington (and a clear win for them) but for the performance of Glencross in his time there. Same goes for Russell in Dallas and Hudler in Florida.
