I don't think Nieuwendyk would be a terrible choice. He did some very positive work in Dallas, along with some not great moves as well. Rookie GM.
Would be interesting to go back and compare some of the current highly regarded GM's first kicks at the can, and see if they did well or flopped (I really and honestly have no idea, and would find the results interesting).
Right now, he wouldn't be my first choice, but I am not sure I would consider him a terrible choice either.
