Not sure I agree.
He has always said you build up the middle, and expended picks that reflect that. He's gone and got the goaltender, and made a trade to add Lindholm to bolster the center position. He's always tried to build one of the best top fours in the league though it hasn't turned out.
In the draft he's clearly gone to skill and attitude over size and pedigree, and it's completely turned around the scouting department.
He obviously has a battle with your RFAs and don't give up cap space philosophy.
You don't have to like the guy, but it's not hard to see a plan.
