[QUOTE="Illiniaaron, post: 1416559, member: 29101"] Actually I think Bowman has been average at best. Tallon built the meat of the roster that won the three Cups, including signing Hossa. Keith, Seabrook, Sharp, Kane, Toews, Crawford, Hjarlmalson (probably spelled incorrectly), as well as Hossa were all brought in by him. The big reason he was canned was that apparently Wirtz felt he mishandled the salary cap, which resulted in a necessary talent dump after the first championship. However what did we see after the next two cups when Bowman was in control? Salary dumps both times. I really cant think of any stellar moves that Bowman made other than bringing in Johnny Oduya and drafting Panarin, who he traded away to get back Saad. He continually traded away decent prospects in the minors to add on veteran pieces that more often than not didn't work out. I think this will probably be his last season as GM. [/QUOTE]
