You can't be saying that regular season success is because of the gm but playoff failure is not.
I do think he's built a good team with a good coach finally. In my mind that gives him some credit. But credit is fleeting and playoff results are what matter.

Great post. We will see what the team looks like in the post season. I’m optimistic because the depth and goaltending has never been this good. But, last night’s game was the closest we’ve seen to a playoff type game and the first line was invisible until the last 10 seconds of the game.
