I think it’s very fair to look at everything that a GM does and doesn’t do. It’s not always the big obvious screwups that should be critiqued. Sometimes it’s subtle ones too, they all count because it contributes to the overall body of work.

Which was it? A guy who should be eager to accept a long term, cheap deal or a guy with 30 goal scorer written all over him?

Odds are if you could see it, then Mangiapane/his agent did too.
