It certainly seems from my standpoint that he’s overpaid to acquire the big name and say he won the match. Both of the above it’s bothered me. Guys like Zucker and Hamonic, are not guys you pay top dollar for to stroke your ego and show off you got the media big fish. But anyway, it is what it is and the prospect pool isn’t that high as many other teams. Average GM at best.

He hasn't made a meaningful move at forward, he did get Hamilton and then Hanifin/Lids. But these guys are not top players ,they are just average. Neal and Brouwer were not top players either.
We knew after the Colorado series that this top line needed to be changed. 2 offseasons later it's still the same.
But more to the point, he was in on these big name players, some that would help this team immensely, but delivered on 0.
His biggest move is Markstom. But that's after a few failed attempts to bring a starting G. Now we will have a top G on a rebuilding team. Makes no sense.
