Still hashing out the Sutter GM argument I see. Ok I'll bite.
Getting Reinprecht, Warrener, Kipper, Nilson, Nieminen and Simon in his first 8 months on the job is the best run any new NHL GM has probably ever had.
Getting Kipper was no luckier than any other good trade. You can only acquire what the other guy is willing to give up. While the 2004 team was no powerhouse on paper, he improved them considerably and we saw in 2006 they had a very good regular season (albeit with some more changes).
