That is probably true, he also made some good trades and free agent signings in 2011 bringing in Torres, Malholtra, Samuelsson, and Higgens. Those players added a lot to that team. He inherited a great core, but he did add some tweaks to make it better.
He had so many poor trades though, most of them involving Florida, a team that he was inexplicably fascinated with… make enough trades with Florida and eventually you will become Florida I guess.
Also Gillis was always trying to find that moneypuck player and dumpster diving for Sturm and the like. I guess it is nothing ventured nothing lost but still nothing gained.
