Primarily a stop-gap GM. Clearly we had elements of a successful team but not a rising core of youth to back up vets during his tenure as GM.
This is the classic case of a great Chef that knows how to run a kitchen and make awesome food become a restaurant owner that is terrible at business.
Great coach and hockey mind in that aspect. Also, I think it's fickle. Little to the left and little to the right, some luck, some chemistry, some bad luck, no chemistry.
