Where he has been successful is coming in to teams in Vancouver and Anaheim where there were all ready big pieces in place that needed some additions to take to the next level
maybe he's changed, but actions speak louder than words and if he's in charge I would expect a prospect or pick(s) to be moved for a currently productive player in the next 12 months, whether it happens or is the right move who knows, but it's not a rebuild

I just don't see him making the same mistake. After the first Kessel season ended he admited that he read the team wrong. Lets not foget that the season before the Kessel trade they made a push for the final playoff spot. The Kessel trade was supose to get them in. Flames are nowhere near that point.
He also made Vancouver into the team it was and Nonnis came in and did the last couple of tinkerings. Granted Nonnis tinkering was to get Luongo for just about nothing.
I just can't see any GM thinking in 9 months that this team is a 1 or 2 players away from a playoff team.
