Any GM who has one of the best goaltenders of all time will probably make some good runs. Unless your last name is Bergevin.L K said:Stan epitomizes the old man yelling at clouds persona.
I don't think anyone disputes that Lou was a great GM and put together really good teams in New Jersey for their style of play. They benefitted from having a Hall of Fame goaltender and some fantastic defensemen and had good production through their career. Most of the trades on that list had good tradeoffs for both teams. A handful of the free agents (Gomez/Holik) weren't let go because Lou didn't want them, but because they had budget limitations and Sather was able to spend like an idiot in New York.
New Jersey won 5 playoff rounds in the last 12 years of his tenure as GM of the Devils. They did make the Cup finals once during that span as the 6th seed in the East. I'm not sure that you can look to his performance over the last 15 years and hold Lou in the same esteem as you could in the clutch and grab/Brodeur era.

PAP gets even more of my respect now. He was one of our few brightish spots that one season back there.

You could probably do something similar for sundin.

The math for PAP is wrong. 61 to 51 is 10, not 11. It's also wrong for Vanek and Bailey.

With our luck, Hyman pulls a Kulemin and scores 30.

Then you trade Hyman for a boatload and stick someone else with those two... and then trade that guy for a boatload after he scores 30. Rinse and repeat.

I've legit dreamt about this.

I haven't had literal dreams about it- but I have thought about it a number of times. As much as I like the idea, do all of them want to share the spotlight like that on the day they get their mega-rich contracts? Ideally, yes as it would be very cool.
