Given that he's managing a Canadian based team that has been bad for about 8 years he's done reasonably well. Fact is he has money to spend and the cream of the crop is not as interested in his money as they are in say Steve Yzermans. So he's done well with his RFA's, and tried for the UFA's that will bat an eye his way. He's not afraid to move on when it doesn't work. As much as you hate buyouts.. it's probably a better move to remove an underperformer from the roster than keep the player around
