I'm not against evaluating a GM's moves in hindsight to an extent. The effectiveness and fit of the players targeted is important and it's a results business. I loved the Jarnkrok add too, but the price seemed steep for a player that didn't attract much UFA attention this summer.
The organization's track record of giving out middle picks for bottom roster players speaks for itself really. The misses sure seem to outnumber the hits.
