An underrated move that doesn't get the hate it deserves was when he signed Martin Gerber when the team was already out of the playoffs and they had CUJO/Pogge to send them spirilling down the standings. Instead, he signs Gerber for no reason, and he plays better than any Leaf goalie and their draft pick got worse.

That turned out to be an awesome move though. He wanted B. Schenn, but got Kadri instead who I would want over Schenn anyday. Also having B Schenn and not the Flyers probably would have not made the JVR trade possible, which lets be honest here was a complete steal.
