This was a tough one b/c I think all those teams improved. I voted for Toraonto b/c I think he got the most bang for his buck and shoudl be a playoff team this year IMO

[CalgaryGM]

Having a little difficulty being unbiased here, so I'll just vote for myself. ;D

If I didn't vote for me I'd give my vote to Toronto as well.

[Vegas Golden Knights GM]

As far as salaries go, I think Philly did the best job with a budget.

But overall, Toronto is certainly the 'most improved' team. But considering how awful Toronto was before, it wouldn't be hard to improve

That guy in Atlanta's doing a hell of a job so I voted for him!

The Bluejackets didn't have much work to do, I vote for them ;D

Danny Fritsche is a hero, and will win every award humanly possible this season. Especailly the Calder.

[ex-BluesGM]

I voted for Dallas as I feel Dan's moves will most impact his team as compared to last year. It will be nice to see Dallas as a legit threat once again.

Wow, it looks like the league is split and I don't blame us. Every single one of the GMs whose teams are listed above has done a fine job this off-season adding talent to be more competitive. It's going to be a tough year in the NsHL. I'm looking forward to it!

I totally agree. I can't wait for the ESM to come out with their Projections for the Upcoming year. It's going to be tough to decide who makes the playoffs, and who doesn't, that's for sure.

Well everyone else is voting for themselves so I'm gonna do the same!
