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.

I don't know, I think fans gambled on Gudreau and Monahan AND a GM that would see those assets and add to them with a RW, a competent goalie, a competent coach, a good bottom 6 etc etc. He failed in a timely manner to get those things. I think I saw G & S as good parts, but not the end and was hoping he'd add to them.
