He's got to have one of the worst draft records of all time
He landed one impact NHL player with 37 draft picks and that was Bo Horvat at #9. Five of six first rounders were complete busts (Hodgson, Schroeder, Shinkaruk, Gaunce, and Jensen)
When Ben Hutton is your second best pick over six draft classes you know you failed miserably.
In saying that his ability to steer clear of free agency and not overpay when he did was definitely shrewd.
