Yeah. His results have been incredibly inadequate to this point, and there's really no reason he should retain the position since he's had long enough to show his capability. It's great he's good at signing favorable deals
most of the time and did good with the Hamilton/Lindholm trade, but he's too happy to give up draft capital in this cap world, and the prospect base is weak because of it. And of course, no playoff success outside of the one where he inherited the team rather than did anything to it. Plus wasting prime years in the core's window by not having a reliable starting goalie.
The team is now regressing rather than getting better, despite having a strong roster. If he bought in a coach, that could reverse that trajectory, but arguably he shouldn't be the one to do that with his dismal coaching hire record.
