I voted Coates here. He was in tough as the team was small market and he did a good job of bringing in some very skilled young players. Had some of these young players not been shipped out under Buttons tenure it's likely the team would have been a lot better a lot faster.
Debated Sutter here because of the on ice success he had but the piss poor drafting and the Dion Phaneuf trade just ruins it for me. Sutter's up next though.
