Is there an actual name for the award other than NHL General Manager of the Year? And Maloney deserves it for making a hopeless team a playoff contender with a limited budget.

Doesn’t the NHL already have this award? I’m pretty sure it’s called the Stanley Cup, no?

I’d have to lean towards Chiarelli in Boston. He knew Kessel as leaving at some point soon anyway whether he liked it or not, and managed to fleece Toronto for some very good draft picks out of the deal. Kessel is going to be the focal point of Toronto’s rebuilding for a long time to come, but kudos to the Bruins for finding a way to get an amazing return on a disgruntled player.

what the Coyotes did was so impressive because their complete lack of talent. Rather, I give the credit to coach Tippet.
The GM of the year award must go to Lou Lamorello assuming it only takes reg season into account.
Maybe Boston for getting second overall pick while still putting a team on the ice that has a legitimate chance at a stanley cup, especially coupled with the emergence of Rask (who he drafted) and the extension given to Savard
What about the Kings? Developed a ton of talent down there.
I am not sure whether to reward a great deadline trade (a la Stempniak) or accumulating talent.
Maybe Colorado? Pretty quick rebuild
Last one to consider–Sharks. Dont overlook how impressive their run of regular season dominance has been, and the GM has obviously accumulated tons of talent

If this award is NOT won by Don Maloney of the Coyotes,
then it isn’t worth creating,
