That would be pretty harsh considering they have consistently been a playoff team up until this season.
Look back at his last 10 years of drafting as Caps GM.
100+ Games: Ovechkin, Schultz, Green, Lepisto, Kennedy, Backstrom, Varlamov, Neuvirth, Perreault, Alzner, Carlson, Holtby, Eakin, Orlov, Johannsson
Not a bad group of picks. Plus other picks like Forsberg, Wilson, Kuznetsov, Burakovsky, Bowey, and Carrick that haven't been that bad.
His mistakes have been making in trades in an attempt to help the Capitals win now (Erat for Forsberg, Eakin for Riberio) but GMs tend to make those moves when they know they need to win.
I hope the Flames don't make him G.M. as I would like some fresh blood in that role but there have been much worse GMs in the NHL over that time.
