That said, it’s too bad Calgary lost him to Washington way back when. I’m so old I remember when he was a bright young GM in the early 80s.

TIL he was GM of WAS from '82-97. Having missed the playoffs for the first 8 years of their existence, once Poile arrived they made the playoffs 14 straight years before missing in 96-97. But then made the finals in '97-98.
Of course most of those years it was pretty hard to miss the playoffs, but still pretty darn impressive
