The first ever NHL front office idiot report card. It is everything you could have ever wished for as a fan. Each team has made a series of boneheaded decisions to get to where they are today, it is time for me to put them in there place. The scale goes from A+ which is the team with the best management to F for the teams with the worst management.
Make sure to weigh in and tell us which front office has made the most blunders in the league.
Anaheim Ducks: B+
When looking over the team’s roster you don’t see a whole lot of mess ups on this roster. The only one I can point to is the Ryan Kesler deal which isn’t THAT bad. Overpayment for an older player is a textbook move for all GM’s.
Arizona Coyotes: B-
For a team on the rebuild not a lot can be said. I mean they have Hall of Famer Chris Pronger under contract which is still a WTF moment for fans. The only other deal that has some questionability is the Mike Smith deal which hasn’t worked out great for them thus far.
Boston Bruins: D
Overpaying Dennis Seidenberg, Adam McQuaid and Matt Beleskey are puzzling moves to say the least. Paying them a total above $10 million combined is downright criminal. For a team up against it you would think they would manage the cap a bit better.
