Just another wild Blobbee prediction, nothing to see here

Name me another NHL GM in recent history that has seen his team miss playoffs five straight seasons and didn’t lose his job

Garth Snow, Don Waddell, Doug MacLean, and Mike Milbury.

BTW, most GMs don't last as long as Jimmy already has... let alone the 6 years minimum you're saying he will last.

GMs generally get dumped after a much shorter tenure than that... playoffs or not.

In fact Jimmy has been around longer than 20 of the other 30 present GMs:

Here's hoping Jimmy sets a new record for longest tenured coach in NHL history!

4 of the worst GMs in the last 40 years

Well now, how good they were/weren't as GMs has nothing to do with your question now does it.

I can see this. Just miss with 93 or 94 points or something. I just can’t see him getting an extension with an 80 point season is all.

Or miss while rebuilding and assembling a prospect pool and young player lineup like never before after inheriting Old other Hubbard's cupboard.

Im just saying it’s year 6 and they fluked into the playoffs with an old roster in 2015. 1/6 is likely getting a guy fired. At some point those grubby Italians are going to want results. Me... I’m good missing again next year and hopefully moving up in the lottery. The prospect pool has improved and we know it was in shambles when he got here, but it still needs some major pieces.

This talk of trading the 2020 1st rounder scares the hell out of me

What you say is true to a large degree, Blob, but may I just add the lottery balls highly manipulated by the evil Canuck hating league
computer engrams haven't exactly gone our way.
Ya have to admit a couple of positions here and a number one there and the truck would be smelling like someone just went to
Canadian Tire and bought a beautiful pine fragrance tree and applied it to the rear view mirror..

Blob is stressed out because like his prediction for this year’s draft regarding his Canucks he has us as the favourites for Raymond, Byfield and Lafrennierre. Poor Blub.

I am sooooo stressed out Drywall King.

Baubles stressed over his imaginary strawman's ideas.

Do you call him Harvey?

Sure. Fuck it must suck to get old. Some of you guys are ripe for entering a home. Hope you have a decent pension from many years of being a miner

Anyone listen to Taylor and the Moj show today on 1040? Somebody asked Donny “did you used to drink with Al Davidson down at Trader Vic’s?”

That was me. I know how to ask the questions.

And with that question you just became the best hockey media man in Vancouver.

All along I thought you were Johnny from the Pizzeria on Commercial Drive

My buddy Trevor phones in from Poco Building Supplies sometimes.

I’ve only ever been on twice. Once where I carved Pratt that he had no business talking about Baseball because he wasn’t qualified to comment on the game. I told him to stick to the Canucks and the CFL. I got cut off and he went on a rant that callers like me piss him off and he’s been in the business for 30 plus years yada yada yada. Another time with Pratt where he thought that baseball hitters generated their power from their chests and shoulders and I lit him up.

Both times I could hear Moj snickering in the background
