He inherited a team that was out of the playoffs?
He has made some great moves, some good moves and some awful moves.
Great: Signing Hamhuis and Tanev; Re-signing Burrows (to original contract), H. Sedin, and D. Sedin; trading White for Ehrhoff.
Good: Signing Sundin (helped H. Sedin/Kesler grow), Malholtra and Torres;Re-Signing Bieksa; trading for Higgens and Lapierre... three of whom were large cogs on the cup run in 2011.
Bad: Signing Sturm, M. Schneider, trading for Ballard and Kassian come to mind; offering Sundin the two year contract was pretty horrendous and he got very lucky with that.
Indifferent: Booth trade, letting Mitchell walk away - god he would have looked good in 2011... likely would have been injured though!
