Kendrick 4,741 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Many recent articles have shed some light on some of the worst GM tenures or trades in VHL History lately. Bad trades are one thing, but to also somewhat have a tenure filled with turmoil or horrible seasonal team records is another thing. Lopsided trades can really paint the picture of an entire GM tenure but some of the best GM's in history have also been able to climb out of a hole in regards to shooting themselves in the foot from a bad trade. Who are some of the GM's who have had the worst tenures as a GM for a given team? Brovy may not have a cup title and may have had some bad trades that people pointed out, but his winning percentage is also above average and thus he wouldn't fit the criteria. We are looking for a full package of shit GM'ing here. Could it have been Corco? He didn't have a horrible winning percentage though I don't think. Could have been Bushito as he never truly won a cup as a GM of a team (being inactive doesn't count) as he bailed twice on teams he said he would come in and wreck the VHL in (he did go on record as saying GM'ing in the VHL is "easy"). Or could it be someone like Jala who backed out on a promise with Boubabi and also didn't have much of a promising go at the whole front office thing. Many teams were built by GM's and then they stepped aside and their squad went on to win. Who are they?

Jericho 917 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Cockstar was pretty bad for Riga in S24 and S25, though Nick Barr was up there too. Probably Robbie during shortbus era. That reputation literally didn't go away until the Braxton-Glover era of NY.

Some 2-3 seasons tenures were straight up bad. Much like the NHL where some GM's are like "bridge" GM's and only there during the down years of accumulating draft picks.
