Without knowing what ownership is asking, for me I can't definitively say. I suspect the owner is a bit forceful in insisting the team start winning sooner than later, and more focused on the shorter term results. If that's the case, than I do think any GM is going to have a hard time improving a team in that environment.

The team is better today than it was when he took over. But it is critical mass time though as he's really getting squeezed now. No other GM in team history had to manage a team thru a pandemic like this that changed things this suddenly. So the people saying he should have traded Gaudreau or hired Gallant..well easy to say, but I think it's a lot harder to do.

Winnipeg had that steamer season...fell back for two straight years, but look to have rebounded pretty well. I'm not comparing the talent of the teams or the ages of the players, but maybe a couple of moves can change a dynamic to get this team back on track.
