I think he's assembled teams that I like on paper (GM's job), that hasn't gotten it done on the ice.
So that is on the players or on the GM for hiring the wrong coaches. Suspect it's a bit of both.

As a comparison, the Flames have 4 players out of their roster who played a NHL game in the 13/14 season. For the rest of the North Division that similar number is
Vancouver - 1
Edmonton - 2
Winnipeg - 2
Toronto - 1
Montreal - 2
Ottawa - 0
There are some teams in the NHL that have made fewer changes (Tampa has 6 of the same players) but those are successful teams that win. It is probably more accurate to say any GM that has 7 years with a team, or any team over 7 years will turn over most of their roster. BT just changed over less of his roster than the majority of NHL teams.
