- paid Markstrom 6x6 for the worst results of any goalie since Hiller
- let Brodie walk for nothing while telling him to just wait until he was done with Markstrom
- accumulated 6 Cs while not getting a top line RW
- signed Forbort, Fantenberg etc. in years where the top 4 was stronger and there was room to develop bottom pair D
- signed Simon, Nordstrom
- signed three previously unproven / unsuccessful coaches
etc.

There was room to have done a lot better with the same ‘marching orders’
Thank you. If you really believe the marching orders were to trade futures to get competitive quickly, I don't know how you're happy with the GM's performance.
