    The poll is a joke. Bryan Colangelo should not be ranked below the likes of Danny Ainge, Bill Bavasi, Jim Bowden, Mike Milbury,..and fuggin Isiah Thomas. Colangelo, Ken Holland, and Ozzie Newsome got the biggest slaps to the face.

    Yeah, well, I wouldn't expect you to know who Lou Lamoriello is.

    How is Polian better than Pioli again? Hell, how are a vast majority of the guys above Pioli better than him? Pioli should be no lower than Top 5, no current GM has the recent success that he has had, maybe except Cashman, and Cashman has a huge financial advantage. And maybe Lamoriello (thanks mofo), the Devils have been consistantly above-average. As have the Red Wings. Just remember I know zip about hockey.

    Epstein and Ainge sound about right, and they are very generous with O'Connell

    Then out of fairness to the others you will be Slagathor.

    O'Connell isn't even a G.M. anymore, he who made quite possibly the worst trade in NHL history.

    Considering how much hockey I watch, I wouldn't expect me to know that either.

    Is this a joke???? Kevin McHale is one of the worst GMs in all of basketball...you have got to be kidding me.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    There's no maybe. Lamoriello didn't get lucky with a future Hall of Famer in the 6th round and his teams are contenders despite losing franchise defensemen Scott Niedermayer to free agency and Scott Stevens to retirement, which is like the Patriots losing Richard Seymour and Asante Samuel.

    Wow, that is awful!

    Jocketty rated No. 47? All credibility lost.
    The Simpson family gathers around, as Homer places Bart's passed test on the fridge.)

    Homer: We're proud of you, boy.

    Bart: Thanks, Dad. But part of this D-minus belongs to God.

    I was waiting for the inevitable Jocketty comment from you.

    I just find it amusing that Jocketty is one spot behind a guy who's the GM of the CLIPPERS.

    Who made the list? That individual/those individuals need to see a therapist!

    I do agree that the list, in general, is pretty screwy.

    Jerry Jones is rated pretty high...
