I think you have to judge a GM by who he picks in the 6th round. BT has been very successful in that regard. His UFA signings have not been great, but that is not relevant. His trades have been at best below average, but again not something I look at. He is average at RFA signings, but it is not something I personally look at. The results on the ice have been poor, but he hits home runs in the 6th round with Mangiapane and I think very soon Phillips.
