The second was the Kessel trade but that move was not a sure thing at the time. His trades were not very good long term. Moving Wheeler for Peverly, a first for Kanerle, and Seguin for spare parts. The Bruins were in complete cap hell thanks to Chia.
He does deserve credit though for the cup team because he added key pieces to that group. The best players were there when he took over similar to Gillis in Vancouver
