My honest opinion : Why it doesn't require any GM skills to succeed.

You talk about the importance of timing in regards to the market for buyers and sellers. I think it takes skill to make moves depending upon the market. For example, Kesler was planning on selling this season, saw there was just about no market for sellers this season, and instead realized it was a buyers market and bought a goalie to compete for a few more seasons. 

 

I'd argue the salary cap is doing it's job perfectly, as Calgary, Quebec, Cologne, Davos, and Stockholm all have really good shots at a cup. 

 

Also you're trade for a 3rd round pick either involves a part 2 or was really poor planning on your part.

The only timing that is related to skill imo is which draft class to go all in. Other than that, buyers and sellers can change at any time.  Therefore, the timing I was speaking of is more related to luck than something else. It's not ONLY luck, but like a lot of it.
