Next GM Watch

[F Gump]

I'm apparently different than most in how I would identify the right GM to hire.

I don't really care about the prospective GM's "vision" of the path ahead. (I think the vision takes care of itself. You are where you are.) I don't care about "which timeline" either. (I think that's a fan/media meme and fairly meaningless. The goal ALWAYS is to build a roster to win a title as soon as you can do it.)

Instead, I care about their ABILITY to execute roster-building moves in a masterful way. Knowing the right player to target, the right deal to get him here, executing deals in a way that includes wins at the margins (getting the "extra" to be added in your favor, rather than giving it away to make the deal happen).
