The GM effectively brings in everyone who is responsible for this mediocre and poorly constructed team
Players, Coach, Scouts, Trainers, etc.
He is ultimately accountable.
The excuses constantly made for him blow my mind. Either you think he has done well or not. Who cares what he has 'tried' to do.

You need some nuance to the whole thing though. it's not black or white.
He has done many things very well. He has done many things not so well.
So in judging his overall body of work, you have to include the good with the bad.
I think he has been way above average in drafting and in RFA contract negotiations.
He has been well below average in his UFA deals.
He has been middling at best when it comes to his coaching hires and the results produced. I would also put his trading abilities here though i think its been better than not over all.
Im of the opinion that it may be time for a fresh voice/idea guy at the top as there is no way the organization didnt think they would be further along than they are now in regards to playoff success.
That being said, he will get the rest of this year and next to save his bacon after signing that last deal through 22-23.
