Legit question as I genuinely don't know the answer but I would like to know how we measure up vs other GMs at the bargaining table trying to acquire our current needs.

The fairly decent poker game he played during round 1 on Wednesday would suggest he has the savvy .
He has done well at the draft and negotiating contracts with our current players but the only impact player that he has brought in is Lindholm (Hanifin is close to being an impact player, but not there yet), I feel my opinion is valid.
We still had to give up the better overall player (Hamilton) so this trade is really only a small win.
