Okay, let's look at his time with the Isles. I tried to be balanced with this, but there are a lot of missteps.

    Olli Jokinen is still the franchise leading scorer for Florida... I feel that should be pointed out as well here
  • I now understand why my dad gets mad when ever milbury comes on the tv

    When you make a video about Milbury's analyst career, be sure to point out how often he says other GMs made bad trades or signings. I guess if anyone would know what those look like, it would be him.
  • He's a great GM candidate for the Edmonton Oilers. If any mad Oilers fan are mad, he can beat them up with a shoe.
  • So my guy gives away Jokinen, Luongo, Chara, Spezza, Redden, Bertuzzi, McCabe, and more, and passes on Heatley in under 5 years? Magical.
  • This is the short video of all of millbury mistakes a GM, that’s crazy
  • I would watch a 10 hour video of the career of milbury. He makes snow look like Bill Torrey.
  • Milbury falling in love with DiPietro was the nail in the coffin. I actually liked DP and thought he was a quality goalie pre-injuries, but without that deal they keep Luongo and Jokinen, draft Gaborik instead of DP, and potentially decide against dealing for Yashin in favor of building a young core. At the time of the Yashin trade though Milbury was under a ton of pressure to make a big move. He buckled. The Peca deal could have been enough. Peca grooming Spezza while adding Chara to that blue-line of Jonsson, Aucoin, and Hamrlik could have yielded similar results in that 01-02 season while obviously setting themselves up much better for the future. Either way when I think about this stuff now it pisses me off, but I just tell myself we’re in a good place now and who knows how things would have played out if these deals didn’t happen. In Lou we trust. EDIT: btw Nilsson wasn’t a reach where they took him - Pierre just torched us because Parise had links to the Isles with his dad. Isles fans were pretty pumped about Nilsson though. Sometimes picks just don’t work out. If there’s anything to give Milbury a pass on it’s his draft history. He drafted some quality players. He just traded all of them away.
  • I loved playing Mariusz Czerkawski in NHL 96. He was one of 2 Polish guys in the league haha.
  • Choked on my saliva laughing when you compared mikes new job to dwight
  • @ryno4516
    Btw this is the guy who went into the stands and hit that fan with the shoe...
  • Millbury attempted to build a winner through trades, while everyone knows a sustainable winner is built through the draft.
  • Mike is a shoe-in for the worst GM ever in hockey history.

    Lost the trade to get linden and lost the trade to move linden. Chiarelli tried to replicate it to a lesser extent by losing the trade for strome and losing the trade to move strome
