His big issue and one that I think is enough to go another way if you feel that way is moving picks to bolster a core that wasn't ready or effective. Personally I didn't think Monahan and Gaudreau would face plant either so I don't hold it against him, but if you saw that coming you don't put picks in play to add to them.
But draft wise with picks they've been damn astute in the last five years.

I am not talking about the draft. Not sure how much he is involved with amateur scouting.
He also spent heavily on the defense and we ended up with Hamonic and Hanifin. One is below average and the other horrific.
He also waited too long on Johnny and Monahan.
