Booth cost them more than nothing. He has a high salary and Samuelson was the better player.
Hodgson for Kassian was a brutal trade when it happened and it looks worse now.
Roy trade also included Kevin Connauton. He is no blue chip, but still not bad of a prospect.

He inherited a team that was out of the playoffs and according to most people around here was on the way down rather than the way up.
Samuelsson wasn't and isn't the better player and if you consider Booth to be injury prone, I hate to know what you consider Samuelsson.
Honestly, he is a decent GM, nothing special. It is good that he invested more money in scouting and the developmental program and has actively attempted to woo international and college players (Tanev being the obvious biggest and best find so far).
