Wow. Some people are pretty negative.
I'd go with a B+
His "bad" moves haven't hurt the team (personally the goalie "fiasco" has been embarrassingly overblown) and his good moves (Hamilton trade, the contracts he's signed top players for whether Gio or other) have been really positive.
Most of all, we have to look at him in comparison with the rest of the league. He's easily a top five GM right now and the best GM hired around the same time (Benning, Chiarelli, etc).
Great hire. Not perfect, but nobody I'm sitting here wishing we got instead.
