That's a lot more positives than minor gaffes like Modin for a 7th rounder, PLL for a 5th rounder. I don't trust Jay on his own which is why I'm happy he's surrounded himself with hockey smart people. I think he'll do good making a smooth transition from the old vets to the new era. Backlund, Brodie, Sven, Wideman, Hudler, Gaudreau, etc. is a solid group to continue to add to.

Bourque for Cammy looks like a wash right now, but we will have to wait and see what happens with Ramo and Holland I guess.
Erixon deal looks slightly better for Calgary at the moment but again way to early to say. He was handcuffed a bit so seemed to do best he could.
Sven and Gaudreau again way too early to say on those.
The FA sigings look okay 15 games in but those are long term deals for way too much money so they better look great now because at the end of those deals they are likely to look awful.
Overall he has come in and at best maintained the team and the poor level it was it and likely made the team a little worse overall with little positives looking at the future.
