I was merely asking how you defined greatness. If everyone is worse at something then you are probably great. If everyone is better than you at something you are probably not great. There is obviously a line between there where greatness probably falls off to being good, then average, then below average and finally terrible.
If there was quintiles for ability regarding RFA signings I would say BT is somewhere between average and very good or above average. I personally feel that there is an undeniable upper tier with Chevy, Sweeney, Tallon, Yzerman, Poile, Waddell, Sakic that have a number of great signings with no real duds included. BT would likely fall in with Jim Benning, Chiarelli, McPhee/mcrimmon, Fletcher/hextall in a next category.
But I will let it go because I doubt you are going to engage in that discussion. Somehow that simple question turned into a discussion about whether Draisaitl was signed as a winger or a center. Or that Bennett was signed for market rate (which is a little off because Tallon somehow signed a better player in Frank Vatrano this year to a longer contract for over 400K less a year so I would think that Bennett may be signed a bit above market rate).
