I have a simple question for you. Answer it right now as you read this and then answer it again at the end of this series of posts: What grade would you give Paul Holmgren since he’s been the Flyers GM? On a scale of 32 to 55? Now to the facts. (I’m going to skip most of the 2006-07 season waivers related activity as Homer’s job that season was basically just to have enough players to fill out the roster each night ((a theme that has kind of carried on through his tenure actually)). The acquisition of Michael Leighton off of waivers only to lose him via waivers 2 months later will not count on his score.) Free agent signings (and to a lesser extent the waiver wire) have almost become a more important part of the general manager’s job than trades and talent development in the post-lockout NHL. So what has Homer been able to snag from the open market in the past 3+ years as Flyers GM?
