Sakic and Yzerman were both intelligent centres who saw their teams go from bottom feeders to contenders over the courses of their careers. And it appears both, as GMs, have listened strongly to their scouts and analytics. Lastly, both have had some
big screwups - Sakic with the entire 2017-18 roster (that team was supposed to compete for the playoffs!), Yzerman with the 2010 and 2013 drafts but they identified their mistakes and simply corrected them.
