Pretty tough 20 question quiz about random trade trivia.

I got 12/20.

8/20

But those were some of the hardest need to know from the past 40 years questions.

Thanks AC that was fun.

Credit as due, this was created by Down Goes Brown (Sean McIndoe) of The Athletic.

0–3 right answers: The Milbury zone. Your fellow GMs put you on speakerphone so everyone in the office can laugh at you.

4-7 right answers: The Chiarelli zone. You don’t always miss, but when you do, you miss big.

8-11 right answers: The Poile zone. You have your share of strong moments, just not often enough to win the big one.

12-15 right answers: The Fletcher zone. You’re not perfect, but you’re not afraid to swing for the fences.

16-19 right answers: The Torrey zone. You almost never miss, making you the architect of a near-perfect score.

20 right answers: The Pollock zone. You’re a cheat code, and nobody should ever take your calls.

Somehow, I got 13. A combination of stuff stuck in the back of my brain and couple of lucky guesses.

I'm okay being in the Fletcher zone.

Considering I don't spend a lot of time on sports trivia, I feel that was a pretty good result.

Although I should have figured an ex-Oiler did shady behind the scenes stuff to try stop his team from improving.
