He's highly overrated and has been for most of his tenure. That Lindholm/Hanafin deal gave him this aura of being a real wheeler and dealer, which he is NOT.

It was everything to do with Hamilton that got him that reputation. Swinging for the fences on a 22 year old former top 10 pick right shot D right after the team shocked everyone by making the second round started it. It continued when he was able to flip Hamilton in the Hurricanes blockbuster.
He has done well in his selling trades for Glencross, Baertschi, Russell, Hudler, Bennett, Rittich.
Most of his other deals have been minor or players that we missed out on. He can’t keep living off the Hamilton deals that is for sure
