He hasn't, though.
Look at how he mismanaged Toronto's blue line.
They bring Babcock in, and suddenly Phaneuf, Gardiner, Rielly all fit well. Before that they were all headless chickens, with second pair offensive guys (Phaneuf) being used as shut down D, and swift puck movers being treated with kid gloves to the point where their best two-way skills were rendered ineffective.
