    GM of the Year: Slyder

    I don't think there's any doubt. He showed you could take a crippled team and rebuild it slowly into a power. I think we all remember how many GMs screwed up Minny before Slyder came on.

    If anyone votes for someone other than Slyder, we lynch and kill them.

    And it was a risk doing what he did in getting top-notch SP's, while great, we're older. A lot of teams going with the youth movement aren't willing to make that risk, but sometimes it's just what you need to make your team from a +.500 team into a playoff team.

    Great job Slyder.

    Word. I remember the 2012 season when I lost 1 or 2 out of 12 games to him; he's owned me this season and will continue to do so for a while. Great job Sly.

    I'm not really too familiar with what went on before this season, but it looks like Slyder did a nice job.

    Can we name all of the Minnesota GM's before Slyder took the reign?

    Congrats!

    Is that the one who pretty much ran the team into the ground economically first?
