Bana GM: Seattle Bears of the S70's was insane

[ROOKIE745 607]

In a series I recently finished up I went over every regular season record of every team of the S70's, and the Seattle Bears easily beat every other team for the best record. Being the only team with over 400 wins, less than 250 regulation losses, making it to the finals 5 times, being top 3 in goals for, against, or differential a combined 13 times, seven 40+ win seasons, won at least half their games every season, and won the Continental cup the most times during the decade, bringing it home three times. Bana has been a GM for over 35 seasons and his experience showed for all of this decade. Bana has repeatedly shown he knows not just how to make a good regular season roster, but a good playoff roster, the Bears only won the Victory Cup once during the decade and never had a 50+ win season but they reached the finals five times and made the playoffs every season. It shows a level of knowledge only a veteran GM of his caliber would have. Seattle's overall regular season record is 426-248-56, well and above second place and their playoff record stands out as well of course, at 76-44, which think about it, that means they played 120 playoff games during the S70's.

 

Of course it all isn't about just the stats and numbers, Bana is a GM active in his locker room and who checks in on his players regularly and treats everyone fairly, this helps create a very welcoming atmosphere that new players can feel right at home with as soon as they join. You feel cared for and it's understood the time you put in to work on getting better and can help rejuvenate careers. of course while being able to connect with your players and understand their problems is important Bana is still a GM at the end of the day and becoming to connected with players can easily drag a franchise down, you gotta always have an eye for the future and know when to move on from a player. It can no doubt create hard feelings but it part of the job as a GM, and to have the level of success the Bears have had you have to constantly be balancing with newer players and veterans on the roster. You may have to move on from a prospect if they aren't developing right even if they are a nice guy, and you may have to move out a veteran who wishes to play their final season with the team. It's not an easy job and Bana had managed to keep that balance while also having a great eye for drafting.

 

I have at times thought about getting into the general managing role, trying it out for myself but I've come to realize I just wouldn't have the time for it, to many other hobbies and work makes it hard to find the time, not to mention just needing breaks, this is another last day media spot after all. But if I did get into the GM role Bana would be an excellent role model and one to study, one to look up to. I don't know if I can say he's my favorite from who I've spent time with, and it's not really fair considering I've only played about one and a half seasons for him. But he's another I can add to the list of great GM's I've gotten to play under, and it was a pleasure to have a chance to join the team. Only question now is.... when does Bana hang 'em up? When does he retire? And will anyone ever be able to match him? Only time will tell.
