Admire GMs like Guerin who belly up to the bar and take risks. Yzerman sits on his hands and does stupid things like Myers for a 2nd which really does eff all to improve his team.

Yzerman is patient. He won’t push in until his team is consistently a playoff team and a cup contender. This isn’t the year for him to make the big play unless he can get a guy with term that fits his window.
Criticizing Nill for not making a big play is comical. They pushed most of their assets in last year for Rantanen and Granlund. What’s he left to trade!?
Guerin is probably the worst GM of the bunch. Guy was sheltered from signing dumb UFA contracts or making big trades becuase he was handcuffed by the two big buy-outs for his first few years. He’s now in a position to spend because of it, and is certainly spending. Could pay off, but it’s a little soon to use him as the example.
