The Shocking Truth Behind the NHL’s Longest-Tenured Worst GM Revealed

Bottom line: McNab’s miserable record means he really has to be on this list, but he had absolutely nothing to work with. Of note, he’s one of the few guys on this list who got another crack at a GM job, running the Devils for the four years before Lou Lamoriello arrived.
7.5. Ron Francis, Kraken
Hired: The Kraken named Francis the first GM in franchise history in July 2019.
Fired Promoted: He was moved up to president this past April.
Wait, time out: Should Francis count? I’m not sure that he should. In a technical sense, he was the Kraken’s GM for almost six years. But he couldn’t do much for the first two years, so it feels like we should really start the clock at the expansion draft. That was in 2021, meaning Francis was only a GM of a team with actual players for a little less than four years.
