Even if we call it a wash at this point I believe what he does this yr should determine if he stays or goes. Time is passing quickly and we need a pro GM to help bring us a cup or two.
Great Video, as usual, Jon. I'm with Chris Drury on the Pavel Buchneivich Trade, because, as he said, when he made the trade, it was a matter of purely Dollars & Cents & it did help to get him Vladimir Tarasenko (not to mention that it was John Davidson & Jeff Gorton, overpaying Jacob Trouba, that caused Pavel Buchneivich not to be signed/traded).
I wouldn't classify the Kid signings as "best". They're right around the middle.
I guess I was expecting there to be more blockbuster trades or signings; his tenure sounds more like a B-/C+ to me.
Finally something positive!
