When Darryl made the Phaneuf trade or the Regehr trade, tons of people on CP hated the deals and thought they were big mistakes. And guess what, the people who thought that were 100% correct and Darryl was completely wrong. No coach/GM/whatever is always right and above being questioned or disagreed with.

Now in this case, I'd personally give Darryl the benefit of the doubt, but he could very well be wrong or mishandling things. It's definitely possible, and the people who think he's wrong could be correct. Argue the points they are making, don't just throw up your hands and say 'The coach must know best, cause he's the coach!'

I think you will have plenty of people who disagree Darryl the GM. As a coach? Hard not to appeal to THAT authority.
