All in all I think the GM made the right moves for the situation, but the team/ players collapsed in spectacular fashion.
Maybe he should have gotten better players. Maybe instead of Foligno he trades with Calgary for Bennett, who has a playoff rep. Or Jeff Carter. Or Palmieri, Zajac, Staal...

None of the other players he got even sniffed the playoffs anyway. They played something like 4 games in the regular season max, and it wasn’t like position was really an issue for the Leafs.
