There are no GM's with perfect resumes so every team that conducts GM searches has the same task of choosing between GM's with past experience and looking at assistants or player agents that have no experience. There's no foolproof direction for teams here as either method can work or fail.

Agreed. I think Trelivings undoing was his long term contracts for aging players. Exactly the same thing that Sutter did. Terrible. Calgary may not be a preferred destination but to do those mistakes really f’s up an organization for years to come.
