Bo knows Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 if there was a gm award I think banning would have to win it with what he has done with this team, I thought I would make this thread to praise him for getting where we are and making this team fun to watch again! It's my first post so don't kill me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Or maybe Bryan Murray, given the incredibly difficult circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo knows Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 O lol then I guess this can be for why he should win it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Benning is a good candidate. Snow did wonders on the Island as well. Signing Leddy and Boychuk was huge for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarGirl Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 LOL I know you corrected it, but "banning" was still funny when I first read that. I think he does deserves praises, but I'm not sure about giving him a GM award yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-a-n-u-c-k-s Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 JETS GM should at least get a look. Picking up Perrault(sp) and trading Kane & Bogo for Myers & Stafford were boss level moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Mtl's Bergeron as well. Several Cdn team GM's have really cut the mustard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Mtl's Bergeron as well. Several Cdn team GM's have really cut the mustard.Bergevin*. I think Chevaldayoff, Snow and Bryan Murray will be the frontrunners with Benning being an honourable mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Buzzsaw* Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 And we could have a 'Worst GMs in Ten Years in the League Award"... for Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coryberg Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 JETS GM should at least get a look. Picking up Perrault(sp) and trading Kane & Bogo for Myers & Stafford were boss level moves.the Kane trade was genius for both sides. Without the trade the Jets would have missed the dance and the sabres wouldn't have ended up last overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombieksa Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 If you look at GM's who made moves most helpful to their team, I think Benning should be very much in the running for the award. Vrbata - Leading goal scorer/PP scorer/GW scorer. Miller - earned the team 59 of 90 points he played for. Bonino/Sbisa - Both played a lot of ice time this season, are young, signed with the team medium term. was a great trade for the team overall. Dorsett - won unsung hero award for team, was a great pickup for the team. Got Sven, clendenning, and Vey, three very young players with lots of upside. Forced willie's hand with Bo (which was a great success). Signed Tanev for the long term during his prime. Didn't make any knee jerk moves but made moves when needed (defensemen injuries half way through season) Didn't trade a goalie when everyone thought he would, helped team continue to win. He did so much this season that was underrated. In terms of a teams success, his moves were probably the best in the league, 2nd maybe only to Snow.

YEGCanuck Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 My all time favourite candidate for worst GM of the year has to go to MacT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinatcc Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I noticed the "NHL General Manager of the Year Award" is of the few awards that's named after someone. Shouldn't it be named after a legendary GM or something. Perhaps the "Lamoriello Award"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't it be named after a legendary GM or something. Perhaps the "Lamoriello Award"? You can't be serious. If it's going to be named after a GM it should be the Scotty Bowman Trophy. He's won pretty much everywhere he went, as a coach and GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coryberg Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 If there was a Stanley Cup trophy I think it should go to the team that won the Stanley Cup tournament. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireGillis Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I'd give it to Tim Murray. He made some great tanking moves that will help the sabres future immensely. It came down to the wire though with Arizona making as good tanking moves at the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
