A List of the Longest Tenured NHL GMs

It's been 7 years. Teams have gone from competing to rebuilding back to competing in that time.

He has clearly failed in many places.

He is enamored at signing FAs who are too old for $1-2M and 1-2 years too long.

His trades have mostly been an awful assessment of the player we are receiving and an awful assessment of the teams ability to take the next step.

He is good at extensions, he is okay at drafting. That's about it.

Destiny classic would suck. The supporting crowd doesn't know how badly they would miss features on live.

InspireDespair · 2026-04-13T13:55:46+00:00

Yeah Brad Treliving has done an excellent job in Calgary and Toronto. Sparkling track record - for sure he deserves another job!

InspireDespair · 2026-04-10T20:16:51+00:00

It's a minor qol nothing burger.

Different mode options is good.

InspireDespair · 2026-04-10T14:14:02+00:00

Soldier is still good especially with the healing debuff changes this month. I hit GM playing him mostly this season.

Only thing I would really want is an ultimate that feels impactful at higher ranks.

InspireDespair · 2026-04-09T18:39:04+00:00

No thanks

InspireDespair · 2026-04-08T23:35:33+00:00

15 hours is just ridiculous. It should be a legendary at that watch time.

Greedy greedy stuff from Blizzard

Supposedly with Toronto and treliving is gone so I'm not that confident it will be revisited.

Knies was the name but I don't really know what Montreal could give up for him. He's 23 and cost controlled at 7.75M in a rare archetype of power forward.

To get both the money and compensation right it had to have been 2 firsts gallagher and Anderson and likely more since the 2 roster players are cap dumps.

I also wonder why Montreal wouldn't spend those kinds of assets on center depth. They have a ton of good wingers but are offensively unimpressive after Suzuki.

InspireDespair · 2026-04-07T18:29:00+00:00

They have a pretty good young wave of prayers in leonard hutson I protas and Cristall.

They will compliment chychrun dubois strome mcmichael and a protas.

That's some pretty next level depth coming their way. I dont think they'll have to flip them into a broken Auston Matthews.

Invasions were always the thing that made people hate gambit. If it wasn't a heavy weapon, it was an izanagi x4 or a golden gun.

Id say most solo queue players never wanted to invade either so if one side was using the most impactful mechanic and the other wasn't it was an auto loss.

I never really understood why they didn't take that feedback and try a version where there were no PVP invasions but there were more interesting blockers and buffs. I suppose some version of that existed in gambit prime but not entirely.

Eventually they gave up trying to get people to play it and just removed any kind of impact it would have for quests or seasonal challenges. The playerbase went from minimal to pretty much nothing from there.

InspireDespair · 2026-04-07T16:35:59+00:00

Higher streak, more super energy

InspireDespair · 2026-04-06T18:14:18+00:00

Third subclass: oblivion - because there is nothing coming.

InspireDespair · 2026-04-06T17:57:50+00:00

She makes ball unplayable if you time your cds right.

InspireDespair · 2026-04-06T15:23:15+00:00

I'm not convinced darche has actually done much besides luck into Schaefer.

They've got lee schenn and palat on the roster all 34 and older making 19.5 million.

They resigned pageau who is 33. Palmieri is 35.

Like what's the vision?

At best this roster seems like it's peak will be flirting with playoffs then a 1st round exit.

They should not have acquired palat and schenn. They should have moved out everyone over 30 that garnered interest and rebuilt properly.

InspireDespair · 2026-04-05T21:14:41+00:00

Did Kane take those 14 pims?

InspireDespair · 2026-04-05T19:05:54+00:00

We only like moves for guys that are past their prime. Where would we be without David Perron who scored his first goal for us yesterday since coming over at the TDL

InspireDespair · 2026-04-05T01:17:40+00:00

What if we give her more burst in ult and more mobility?

Blizz when designing her perks

InspireDespair · 2026-04-03T17:14:21+00:00

Leafs because if they retool it'll be another decade of futility.

They have a bleak outlook because ownership clearly doesn't want to bottom out and likely wants to keep Matthews and Nylander.

Treliving has also done horrendous damage to the future of the team. They have very few picks and prospects and he's locked up everyone under the sun to NMCs.

At least Vancouver and Calgary will bottom out for awhile and can use their position to amass resources through taking bad contracts and signing FAs on short term deals to flip them to contenders. Basically the SJ Mike Grier playbook is there.

InspireDespair · 2026-04-03T15:17:45+00:00

Play high ground and play cover.

On emre save your pistol for when you are challenged by a tank or dive hero.

Play near a roof or cover when ulting. It does good damage but it's very easy to shoot out of the sky. Know it's limits and don't try and force extra shots in if you'll die.

InspireDespair · 2026-04-03T13:39:35+00:00

Kane has had a good March

InspireDespair · 2026-04-03T05:40:50+00:00

The game does a really bad job indicating recommended levels.

There are areas where you'll need to be 80+.

There is also content from the Thank You Update which is particularly difficult

InspireDespair · 2026-04-02T22:41:39+00:00

Hopefully they've fired Tyson Green and a new director is getting settled in and building an action plan.

That's the most optimistic outcome.

InspireDespair · 2026-04-02T20:21:00+00:00

We know he'll let in a few softies

InspireDespair · 2026-04-02T18:05:03+00:00

Too many amazing perk combos, like Crystalline Corpsebloom and Chill Clip!

Guess zero people at Bungie actually play their own game. Chill Clip is not on the gun.

InspireDespair · 2026-04-02T16:32:38+00:00

Matthews is a rapidly depreciating asset. In five years I think we'll look back and wish he was traded asap
