You know exactly what your getting into as a GM, especially as the assistant to the previous GM. He knew the game plan, the team has gotten worse statistically each year behind him. The status of the team when D sutter, left, and you can't improve on that, instead it's been worse. I have to question the hockey knowledge here when he sacrifices grit and goaltending just to gain as much skill as he can, regardless of how on the edge these skill players play with. That's poor management IMO. It's even more intriguing with Burke available. Maybe you pull the trigger sooner than normal to get a guy like that.
