Being an NHL GM is hard. Honestly, think about all the pieces you need to be know inside and out. Not only do you need to focus on the NHL team, it’s rosters, it’s coaches, the payroll, contract length, and the happiness of those players, the GM has to focus on the entire prospect pool. Then, these times of the year, that general manager needs to know the right pieces on other teams.
We made an attempt to do that ourselves to make a trade between the Carolina Hurricanes and the New Jersey Devils.
