[Matt Sekeres] Les six dernières coupes Stanley ont été remportées par quatre nouveaux directeurs généraux (Zito, McCrimmon, MacFarland, BriseBois). Il faut revenir à Doug Armstrong en 2019 avec les Blues pour trouver le dernier directeur général expérimenté à remporter une Coupe.
You mean these recycled dinosaurs aren’t the answer??

Guys, it’s literally just the first call stage. Can we just chill for a bit lol

I think Kevyn Adams would be good for you guys. I saw that Hes being interviewed and is experienced with a rebuild, into analytics etc

Sam Ventura or bust or Mike Gillis (never happening)

So he’s saying it could be any of us.

Interesting in that none of those GMs built the core of their teams.
Florida’s core was largely drafted by Dale Tallon. He’s a retread. Oddly enough he also was the primary builder of Chicago’s not-quite-a-dynasty. I wonder where he’s working right now?
McCrimmon was elevated to the GM role by George McPhee, who’s still there as the PoHO. He’s on his 4th team I believe.
Tampa was built by Yzerman, who was a first time GM but had apprenticed for years in Detroit.
Colorado’s GM when they won the Stanley Cup was Joe Sakic. He only promoted himself to PoHO after they won. He had been the top hockey executive for a decade by the time Colorado won.
Armstrong is a rare case of an executive who oversees the building of the core, and actually gets to stick around for the contending window. Building up a team is a very different skill set than getting them over the hump to win.

Small sample size and a lot of different org contexts in there. Feels more about timing and structure than “first time vs experienced.”

ALRIGHT, I’ll do it!

« The last six Stanley Cups have been won by four BRUNETTE GMs (Zito, McCrimmon, MacFarland, BriseBois). Gotta go back to Doug Armstrong in 2019 with the Blues to find the last BALD GM to win a Cup »
We need BROWN HAIR!!!!

Soo …. we going to ignore the wealth of experience that all those guys had before they got their first GM roles?
Zito was under Kekalainen in CBJ for like 7 years, McCrimmon was a LONG time WHL GM before he was a AGM under McPhee before taking over, MacFarland had like 15 years of AGM experience in CBJ and Col before he took over for Sakic, Brisebois was AGM under Stevie Y.

Jim Benning was a first time GM

Sekeres is a doofus.

We need to have a subreddit intervention about Mike Gillis. He’s gone, guys. Let it go

Wasn’t Alvin a first time GM?
This is a stupid take by Sekeres (not surprised). Don’t use confirmation bias to prove a point. For these 4 success, there’s a crap ton more of failures that isn’t mentioned.

Trash observation, Joe Sakic was the GM for Colorado when they won in 2022.

Is this called survivorship bias?
Zito (GM at 2020, won SC in 2024)
McCrimmon (AGM at 2016, 2019 promoted to GM, won SC in 2023)
MacFarland (AGM at 2015, 2017 promoted to GM, won SC in 2021)
BriseBois (AGM at 2010, 2018 promoted to GM, won SC in 2020)
If I was rich enough to buy the team, I’d still use Aquaman as a resource. Whenever I was looking for a new hire, I’d run it by him and then cross whoever he suggested off the list.

For fuck sakes just get an analytical GM for once.

Sekeres is so annoying, he keeps talking over his guests and co-hosts 🤦♂️
