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.

Tell Dylan Larkin that Yzerman is patient. He sat on his hands last deadline and pissed off his #1 C by not doing anything. Getting John Gibson and Tyler Myers is marginal help at best.
Yeah, thought about Dallas and Rantanen and Nill did put it out there last year. But he’s low balled us on Tanev and didn’t play ball on Andersson despite needing an obvious need on rhd. I hope that comes back to bite him. He’s playing it cautious again and worried about spending futures, when he really doesn’t have to worry about futures as he has a built in advantage with his team in a low tax state and able to attract prime talent in free agency as a result.
Guerin took big risks getting Parise and Suter off the books. And was able to get the second best defenseman in the league (while Yzerman watched him do it). We as fans should applaud this approach as it makes the game fun. GMs who are Riverboat gamblers and gunslingers making deals creates excitement. Having dull GMs like Yzerman and Cheveldayoff is bad for the game.
