- Perhaps guilty of trying to accelerate the re-build, resulting in premature shedding of picks

- Poor coach selection.



Which is why he's #3 on my list (behind Fletch and Coates)
Thanks for the response, truly. I wasn't seeing enough of that. More people running others down and BT seeming to get it by default or something.

His RFA contracts are great, I will admit

His trades outside of the Hamilton ones are nothing really special. I guess it was actually pretty good work trading Glencross and Russell. I was fully on board with him then. He lost me after Hamonic.

Draft performance is acceptable so far. The team is young and has graduated it's fair share of players. Imagine what could've been with more picks though?

I guess I'm just not seeing his vision for the team. I dont see how this group elevates to the next tier. We needed a 1C out of our rebuild and to take the next step. We still need a 1G. Our 3 best forwards are wingers and our best player is 36. We are kind of a mess right now. Not what I envisioned in 2014.
