Well, I tend to think that there's exaggeration about how good or bad various GMs are, and yes, luck has a big role in a team's success, as well as the situation they get dropped into.
But more to the point, an ex-star player =/= successful GM for his old team and even the ones cited are not exactly killing it. You can make a good argument that the best GM in the league never played NHL hockey and was deemed too old to continue in Toronto.
