Snow is the guy who moved a 1st, 2nd and Matt Moulsen for Vanek and then moved Vanek and a 5th for the equivalent of 2 2nd's later that season. It is not like you are trading with Sam Pollack here

I'm not saying Snow is Gm of the year, but he is not as bad as people think. For starters he has to deal with Wang ,who i think is the Willy Wonka of NHL owners. Snow has built up a very respectable team. He has traded for players in the past that didn't want to go their at first , only to have them end up signing extensions with the team.
He did pay to much for Vanek, but Snow clearly thought Vanek would put them over the hump. Can't blame Snow for what he got in return for Vanek later that year. That deadline day, price wise, was completley different than prices had been in the past and the following year. Wasn't Cammi only worth a 4th round pick that year if Burke decided to trade him?
