Paul Fenton was run out of Minnesota for the Fiala-Granlund trade. He’s not looking like such a dummy now, is he?
Remember when George McPhee showed he didn’t know anything about hockey by trading away Forsberg for Erat? And then he turned an expansion ream into an immediate Cup contender?
A GM who hits in 70 per cent of his deals is elite.
