Drafting Sven and Gaudreau were very good moves. Modin and PLL trades were nothing for nothing. Going to the KHL to look for some help was a good idea. In fact the way Cervenka has played the last few games, I wouldn't mind a new deal for him, at an appropriate price of course. His hands were completely tied with the Iggy situation. If he didn't trade him, you would've probably been upset that we didn't at least get "something" for him before he walked away a UFA. Admittedly, I don't get his and Weisbrod'd love affair with the NCAA, but I'll give him time to see how that plays out. Hudler was a good signing, Wideman was probably over priced but still a good pickup. Its hard to say how the ROR situation would've played out had it give through, but he had confirmation from Bill Daly, that it wouldn't have been a problem. I think some people like to be haters for the sake of being haters. He hasn't brought us a Stanley Cup in the 2 and a half years he's been here, well then he must be a horrible GM. He's no Ray Shero, but he's not worse than Tambellini or Garth Snow or Doug Maclean either.

Re-signed and overplayed Sarich, gave him a NTC. Re-signed and overpaid Babchuk, gave him a NTC. Re-signed Blake Comeau. The ROR incident was a fiasco, whether Daly said it was fine or not, it was a massive oversight. King apparently admitted today they should have got Iggy to sign an agreement to be traded to one of the teams on the list, Feaster had his hands in that too.
*edit - Dion reminded me of the Brad Richards bullet we thankfully dodged.
On and then there is two years straight of guaranteeing this team will make the playoffs and his ridiculous catch phrases that are too numerous to even count off the top of my head. He is not a good GM. Buffoon is harsh but he is not competent.
