I agree you can't just make a list of good/bad and that results also matter but that's the point - it needs to be a full and thorough review.
Again I go back to one of my main points - bad teams change GMs far too regularly. If you think the guy is making rationale and sound decisions, then my inclination would be to stick with him.

Would you say bad teams hire bad GM's (and therefore have to fire them) or are they firing good GM's?
The Patriots cycled through GM's and coaches until BB showed up.
The Penguins won the Cup with a brand new management team.
Haven't the Oilers had the same jokers in charge for a long time?
IMO it all comes down to whether you have a GM with an appropriate vision and strategy and then you can measure how they do against that strategy.
