How do you figure that?? When Bryan Murray took over the Wings they were
a pretty good team that was contending for the Stanley Cup but looked
unlikely to win it. Now they are a pretty good team that is contending for
the Stanley Cup but looks unlikely to win it. A truly great GM would
have been able to make the moves to push the team to the upper echelon
of the NHL and maybe win the Stanley Cup. A good GM (like Murray) can
maintain the team's success but can't push them to the next level.
In the history of hockey there have been several better GM's than Murray-
way too many to name. Murray isn't even the best GM in the league today.
He fails in comparison to Sinden, Sather, Savard, Caron, Fletcher and
Quinn in my estimation.
I can't imagine how Bryan Murray can be the best GM anyone has ever seen
in hockey- unless they have seen VERY few GM's.
