I heard on the radio that he was in the top 10 in voting for GM of the year. Can anyone confirm this? If true that's pretty cool imo..
Snow finished 6th.

The real question is: How did Scott Howson get a vote?

I like that Garth was in the TOP TEN but where is Boston's GM?
This vote was done by folks that are blind or do not watch hockey.
Boston GM Peter Chiarelli deserved to be top 10, easy.
Howson takes too much heat. He won the Nash trade. Got a Vezina caliber, extremely young goaltender for basically second-rate assets. Got his team 3 first round picks in what appears to be a stacked draft. Has built an extremely impressive defensive core.
IMO, he's done a decent job. It was that original Carter trade that buried him.
I'm assuming he didn't make the cut because he's a ******... have you ever seen any of his interviews? They are a real treat.
I agree on all accounts. The Carter trade at the time looked very good for the on paper. They gave up Voracek, a first and a third. For a guy, whom at the time was scoring at a top flight rate. I just think Carter wasn't overly enamored with going to Columbus to begin with.
However, Columbus was able to regain a first rounder as well as Jack Johnson for Carter. So not a total tank on that trade.
Furthermore, I think having two picks in this years first round would be huge, let alone having three like Howson has. You could stay pat and look to add three high level guys or potentially package those picks to move up in the draft and/or for a top flight player.

This isn't just hindsight, but it's amazing to me that Shero was 1st and Chiarelli was down the list. IMO Shero is incredibly overrated, whereas Chiarelli is great.
Considering the candidates on this list. I cannot fathom that the Boston GM was in the lower half of "Best GMs".
I really don't know how Shero won the award. He amassed a team of all stars that once again, when faced with a REAL opponent, collapsed and honestly, had we not had a garbage PP and horrific net minding, would have been bounced by the isles in rd 1
Pretty cool that both snow and cappy finished in top 10.

How about Greg Sherman getting a vote?
