I realize firing Gallant wasn't Tallon's decision. But he was president of hockey ops at the time, and went along with going back to being GM and having that mediocre AHL coach/AGM Tom Rowe become a head coach.

ETA:

Don't forget his horrific RFA gaffe as the Hawks GM.

At the end of the day I think Tallon has a good eye for hockey talent, but is terrible at any other aspect of GMing.
