Hard disagree.
JR's moves in Calendar Years 2015 and 2016 were worthy of a GM of the decade award. he completely transformed that team's roster with a combination of trades and callups leading to B2B cups.
He screwed up a couple years later, especially that Jack Johnson acquisition that never made a modicum of sense, but if anyone is going to trade some of the Canucks undesireable assets to build a team appropriate for the modern NHL, I'd take a gamble on the guy who virtually
defined what the modern NHL is.
Also, as POHO, he may still hire some young blood to be the Canucks GM.
