The Shocking Truth Behind the NHL’s Longest-Tenured Worst GM Revealed
Anyway, MacLean was the Blue Jackets’ first GM, lasting from February 1998 to April 2007. Howson was next up, from June 2007 to February 2013.
In between: Between them, MacLean and Howson produced one playoff appearance and zero playoff wins. Hey, if it ain’t broke …
In fairness, remember that back then, expansion teams were given virtually nothing to work with. But MacLean didn’t build much, and Howson’s attempts to shove the franchise into relevancy did not work.
Signature move: For MacLean, drafting Rick Nash. For Howson, trading away Rick Nash.
