He came in and started off well. However, i personally think that he is grasping at straws right now to try and get out of this cap situation (waited too long to make the necessary moves). This is usually when most GMs make some really dumb moves when their back is up against the wall and I would be more comfortable bringing in someone else than a Sutter situation all over again when he left with some horrendous deals.
Every GM has a shelf life imo. It is important to realize that before it is too late. I am just suggesting that people give him way too much crediit when really this cap situation is because of his own decisions (some really bad ones)

So let me get this right. Playoff appearances, graduated a number of players of the last three years, your top stars locked up at great contracts, improved drafting, 2nd in the nhl but were overating him?
Hes had 2 deals for impact players that were nixed for reasons beyond his control.one trade and cap isnt a problem. If you really want to nitpick i can see the signings as egregious but every gm has bad contracts and personally feel gg is his worst mistake by a longshot.
I dont remeber this franchise being anywhere near as good a shape as its in today since the 80's. If thats bad gming ill take it.
