I like the question for discussion by OP but the question I would respond with is when is a fair time to judge?
Its been an interesting Free Agency period. Did we get better in the following?
Net - Yes but at what cost? I might be wrong but only Edmonton offered him more money and they arent really an organization you can use as a measuring stick if you want to get better
Blueline - I would say we got worse by quite a bit so far. Tanev is a downgrade on Brodie and we lost Gustavsson and Forbort to Free Agency while not really adding there.
Forwards - I would say we are probably par for where we started.
So given we havent really moved much and all we have done is add money to a position with uncertainty I would give it a C+ with potential to improve. I do believe this grade is premature
