By extension, this must mean that every managerial decision made by a SC winning GM is a brilliant decision. Like I said, I think Chiarelli's deal was fine, but entirely unspectacular. Good on him for building a winner, but this one trade had virtually nothing to do with the team he built that actually won.
In retrospect, his teams since 2010 certainly have their fair share of flaws and shortcomings. I have not been overwhelmed by Chiarelli's performance in his last three years in Boston, and was not especially awed by his first few months in Edmonton's head office.
