I don't see the job as a 100% position. It's like commodity trading. You have to be right more often than wrong, and manage your losses well so you end up up overall.
His gamble was on Monahan and Gaudreau and it failed. If you see that as a firing offence you are certainly going to want him gone. But I didn't see a lot of posters suggesting Monahan and Gaudreau were going to fall off the face of the earth 18 months ago ... I know I certainly didn't see it coming. And with that I wouldn't fire him for it.

He gambled on Hamonic and failed as well as I will always go back to that trade as a turning point of when things started going downhill for Brad. A 1st and two 2nd round picks for a guy that few teams were even interested in him as a free agent is a massive miscalculation. This team would look a lot better today with Noah Dobson and the two players they could have picked with the 2nd rounders. Simply inexcusable asset management.
