I voted Murray because of the three he seems to be building the best as the Ducks have assembled a very solid prospect base all while the team is amongst the top teams in the league over the regular season. Lombardi just tweaked an already Stanley Cup winning roster adding Gaborik and Bergevin has done a fine job in Montreal but I feel that team is still a little smoke and mirrors having to rely on a goaltender to bail them out for getting outplayed.

Lombardi because of solely adding Gaborik at the deadline.

The ultimate goal of an NHL team is the win the cup. Kings won the cup. Therefore, Lombardi is the best GM.

Ken Holland for managing alot of turnover and icing a team tight up to the cap with the depth to overcome serious injuries and still make the playoffs.

I'll cast my homer vote for Bergevin. Loved that he landed Vanek at the deadline.

Lombardi got a better player for arguablly a lesser return. Sure Vanek was the bigger name at the time, but Lombardi found the better "fit" for the team.

Weiss was a good pickup though.

Lombardi did a great job no question, but seriously though, how much of the Gaborik acquisition working out is just plain old dumb luck? I'm reluctant to give a ton of credit to GMs who simply catch lightning in a bottle like that. It wasn't a month ago that people here were saying how stupid Lombardi was for not trading for Cammalleri.

Prior to the trade deadline any GM is operating in a thick fog of uncertainty on how rentals will do. To that I'd give Montreal a bit more credit based on them giving up very little for the most prolific goal scorer. It's about managing the odds.

Are we going to see a Hart Trophy poll before the awards are handed out? Interested to see who wins that one.

When I saw this thread, I figured it would be Bob Murray in a landslide.

Don't forget, playoffs are not considered when it comes to most NHL awards.

Yeah, the GM Award is voted on at the conclusion of the regular season. Using Gaborik's playoff production as a point, which has been mentioned, isn't going to play a part in the decision. Instead you got a Ducks team with 116 points to the Kings team of 100 points.

In 2012 Doug Armstrong won the award despite having the Blues get swept by the King's that season in the playoffs.

Now based on end results I obviously think Lombardi deserves it, but since the poll is who wins it I'm easily going with Murray.

Edit: Ah crap, looks like they changed when they do the poll:

Voting for this award was conducted among the 30 club general managers and a panel of NHL executives, print and broadcast media at the conclusion of the Second Round of the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Now my post is useless and makes a lot more sense why Sherman wasn't included

Does this award consider the results in the playoffs too or just regular season?
