Also what’s the definition of success for a GM? Because if it’s winning a cup then all of his his colleagues except one fail at that goal as well.
There is definitely merit to get rid of him as a lot of his moves have failed. But he’s tried his best to keep this team competitive especially after a disastrous offseason that saw our two elite players leave.
My point is that I think a lot of his players let him down BIG time. Neale, Brouwer, Kadri, Huberdeau, Markstrom (to a certain extent - this season) but I’m willing to bet people welcomed these players (mixed feelings on Brouwer) and thought they were good acquisitions. They just didn’t perform to the level required. Is that the GM’s fault? I’m not so sure.

Fans on a message board aren't NHL GM calibre.
Neither is Treliving.
