^ I don't see how the off-season has been that great. The jury is still out on his drafting record, sure a few could turn out well, but they could easily still be busts. Also a blind person could have taken Monahan based on pre-draft rankings.
After that what else has he done?
The Tanguay trade? Meh, pretty much a trade sideways.
Traded for Russell? Not very good.
Traded for Galiardi? Decent deal, but nothing really to hang his hat on.
Signed Corban Knight? Smart move, but Knight knew where he would be given the most ice time this year.
That's really his entire track record at least this off-season. He's been decent enough over his tenure, but personally I don't have enough confidence in his ability to rebuild this franchise long term.
