EDITOR’S NOTE: Welcome back to Jarmo Week! We are taking a look back at the successes and failures of Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekalainen over the last decade. Today: Comparing Jarmo to other GMs.
Jarmo Kekalainen is one of the longest tenured GMs in the league. So wouldn’t it be fair to compare him to those that have been with their current teams for similar amounts of time? By now we are all familiar with Jarmo’s successes and failures, but we also know that other GMs are prone to similar mistakes and are also subject to the same luck involved in the draft.
