No GM is going to come out and provide a powerpoint as to what his vision is; that's not done.
So you have to take queues from what he says....
Build from the middle - Centers and Blueliners
What he does ...
Locking up core pieces to contracts that are right in the middle of max and short length getting a mix of term and dollar value that he is comfortable with.
A huge focus on progression and making sure the next wave is backed up by drafting in late rounds to fortify shorts.
I agree that a coach is part of a vision and he made a misstep in either Gulutzan's ability to lead or his players ability to lead themselves.
Also agree that they seemed to be moving too quickly based on a lucky playoff make in 2015.
With that mixed bag of good and bad I gave him a 3.
