If this team drafts top 6 again that will be their third he's called to the podium.
Look, I don't want Brad to go full Sutter before he gets fired. He's got a decent core in place, but he didn't need to trade for Chiasson, or sign Brouwer. If the expectations from Murray Edwards & co. are on par with what's happening, it doesn't jive with the money they spent.

I think Brouwer has been fine - one of the more consistent forwards.
As I've said before, I think one of the hallmarks of good organizations is consistency. The organizations that lose perpetually (including this one) have constant turnover at key positions and within management.
Re-building an organization, that has been woefully thin on assets, doesn't happen over night.
Firing a GM every 3 years is a basically a guarantee that you will go nowhere forever.
He has shown to be a shrewd trader, good negotiator and overall has made more good moves than bad.
Give the man time.
Or fire him, bring someone new in and fire them in 3 years. Rinse and repeat. Like every other loser organization out there.
