Jim Gregory General Manager of the Year Award

And I think Bill Garrett's done a great job in Minnesota.

Obviously got the Jim Gregory Award for the GM of the Year last year.

How do you think this shapes out? Do you think he signs a one-year deal and just kicks the problem down the road? Do you think it's a three-year deal? Or do you think he goes to free agency? Where do you think this is going to shape up for him?

I'm looking at his brother's deal right now because Jack's got four more years left.

And I think that that's all about to change.

I think this year what we're going to see is that Bill Armstrong is going to be a finalist for the Jim Gregory Award, the GM of the year.

And if he doesn't win it this year, I think he's going to be a shoo-in to win that award within the next two or three years with what he's been building here over the last four or five years.

He keeps on giving.

Coaches and GMs, it doesn't count against the cap, your extension.

I will say, um, I love the NHL General Manager of the Year award, very biased bec- when it was renamed the Jim Gregory Award-

Yeah

... 'cause I'm, as great a person I ever met, not just in hockey.
