Actually his RFA contracts have been some of his best work.
I think we were all worried about the contract length and age ... I was worried about Gaudreau getting the same contract.
But the biggest contract in team history isn't a whim signing by the GM, the owner is all over it ... which we actually know based on the blow by blow Gaudreau final days.
Some of his free agent signings have been terrible.
He's spent too many picks banking on a core that I didn't particularly like.
But the Huberdeau (and Weegar) contracts have ownership written all over it.
